Once the home of Lieutenant William Bligh, Captain of the notorious HMS Bounty, this Grade II listed townhouse dates back to circa 1780. In 1789, some of the crew of HMS Bounty turned on their captain, William Bligh, and seized the ship in one of history’s most infamous mutinies.
Captain Bligh navigated more than 3,500 nautical miles to safety along with the other crew who had been forcibly removed from the boat. The rebels eventually vanished into the Pacific, settling on remote Pitcairn Island and creating a legend that still fascinates today and indeed permeates into a deep sense of the character throughout this Lambeth home.
Adorned with an English Heritage blue plaque, and the history and charm is displayed in every room of this classic Georgian townhouse. The configuration of the accommodation is hugely versatile and reflects a previous use as a highly regarded guest house with six independent ‘bedroom suites’.
Outside, the garden and terrace areas are established and exceptionally tranquil for a property so close to the heart of London and with a South Westerly aspect enjoy a great deal of afternoon and evening sunshine.
To the front of the property the outlook is across Harmsworth Park and the Imperial War Museum. This is a location convenient for key transport links at Waterloo and Lambeth North Underground Station. The energy and atmosphere of the Southbank, including the London Eye are also within close proximity.
Prospective buyers will fall in love with this home for its charm, and accessibility to quintessential London lifestyle on offer.
