Once owned by the renowned sculptor Esmond Burton, the historic coach house has received planning permission for a residential revamp.

Expansive windows and skylight draw in an abundance of sunshine, which reflects off the exposed brick and wooden beams. A ladder leads to a cozy bedroom on the top level.

Location: Red Lion Street, London, England

Price: £1,500,000 (approximately $1,843,725 USD)

Footprint: 2,000 square feet (one bedroom, two baths)

From the Agent: "Here’s a wonderful opportunity to develop a freehold coach house in Central London. Tucked away off Red Lion Street in Bloomsbury, this property is accessed via a shared passageway leading to a cobbled courtyard. Throughout the 20th century, the building was used as a studio for sculptor Esmond Burton, as well as a workshop for silversmith Jocelyn Burton. Planning permission is now granted for a three-bedroom residential dwelling, designed by David Kohn Architects. The existing building has plenty of natural light thanks to the vaulted ceilings and large roof windows on the upper floors. There are also various exposed beams and brickwork with coach doors giving access to a cobbled courtyard."

The three-story building currently features tall, vaulted ceilings and a large open floor plan.
