If you look outside you will notice bricks and iron railings ...

The first owner was a brewer named Harry Charrington, but later the house was divided into two separate apartments.

Thomas Andrews was the architect responsible for the construction of this house in 1741.
But after more than a century the house did not have any tenents and therefore, ended up becoming a warehouse in 1895.

If you enter the different rooms, some still resemble their original appearance, such as the cast iron stove kitchen.
But it is to be said that some the pieces of furniture are from a more recent age.

This stairway, however, has the same look that it had in 1795.
The floors and windows in the dining room on the first floor are all original.

The room on the ground floor is even more sumptuous.
In all, there are five bedrooms, all furnished with period furniture.

If you think that five bedrooms are a lot, then what about the seven living rooms that this house has?
When you go downstairs to the basement, you can see a cellar that was used to store wines.

What is the value of this incredible building? It is £3 million pounds (almost 4 million dollars/euros).
