The home

An imposing and thoughtfully designed townhouse situated in an original factory building of this historic chocolate factory, home to H.J Packer’s and Elizabeth Shaw confectionery. The home has retained beautifully high ceilings and tall windows, bringing lovely natural light through the building. The house has versatile space, with some grand rooms, including the full width master bedroom with balcony to the front and the kitchen/living area on the top floor, which spans the footprint of the home, creating a rarely found loft-style open-plan living and entertaining space. The ground floor provides an ideal work from home area or could double up as art or music studio, gym or gallery. Measuring over 1500 square feet, the house provides plenty of scope for family living, along with options for space to enjoy hobbies and to work from home.
