Buy a piece of history in The City of London

Whittington House, College Hill

Located just off Cannon street, on a quite cobbled road missed by many bleary-eyed commuters is Whittington House, a Grade II listed stucco fronted building steeped in history. Originally built as a school in 1832 by The Mercers’ Company (the Premier Livery Company of the City of London), the building is most famously known as the site of the former house of Richard “Dick” Whittington (c 1354 – 1423), four times Lord Mayor if London and member of Parliament, but celebrated most famously in the 19th Century as a popular pantomime character.

The building’s history has recently taken a new direction as residential developers The Jaspar Group have moved in to restore and sympathetically convert the interiors into eight stunning apartments, retaining many period features and offering a truly special opportunity to buy a piece of history in The City of London.

At the centre of the development is a magnificent 2000 sq ft apartment with a living room of ballroom proportions, filled with original features and a 43ft high ceiling to boot.

Due for completion in September 2012, the building will now offer a range of one and two bedroom apartments, currently for sale with prices starting at £574,950
