This is Trellick Tower built in 1972 on the Cheltenham Estate in North Kensington, London, UK and designed by Hungarian-born architect and designer Ernő Goldfinger. A 3bd, 1.5ba unit on the 19th floors is for sale for £1,000,000 / $1,248,735.
The building is split into the main block of flats and the imposing service tower. To maximize living space, Goldfinger put the lifts, stairs and even communal laundrettes into the tower. The heating system and water tanks are housed there, too, in the plant room at the top, which allows water to run down to apartments using gravity, minimizing piping.
The tower stairs look so clean. Probably nobody uses them.
Yellow lift hallway.
The connecting hall from the lifts to the apts. looks dated.
Since the connecting halls from the tower are on every other floor, this unit's entrance is on the 18th fl. below.
Hall at the top of the stairs.
For the price, this is a small living room.
Opens to a narrow balcony.
The kitchen isn't oversized, but it's nice.
The primary bedroom is small.
This bedroom is being used as a den.
And, this one is a nursery. The window seat is nice, but I don't think that you could fit a bed in here.
The 1.5 baths are right next to each other.
The view.
I think that I would rather live in a longboat on the canal. I just don't think that this unit is worth the price.
