A penthouse in a converted water tower offering a bird’s-eye view of the Hertfordshire countryside is on sale for £750,000.
The property occupies the top two floors of the building, which was built in 1932 to serve Shenley Hospital, near Radlett.
She said it provides views over four counties with London’s St Paul’s Cathedral and the Shard visible on a clear day.
“We get kites. There’s a pair of them that often pass our windows,” Mrs Lenson said.
“They sort of glide past and still never fail to amaze us. It’s a bird’s-eye view.”
“It’s incredible because the flat is beautiful, it’s perfect in size and even when you have a few people round it feels spacious,” Mrs Lenson said.
“It’s very open, with all the windows, cool in the summer and warm in the winter – we’ve got underfloor heating.
“If you tell people about where you live they are amazed and if you show them pictures they are even more amazed because it’s so different.
The penthouse, located on the tower’s 10th and 11th floors, can be accessed by a lift, and boasts two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a smaller third bedroom, and an open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen.
It is up for sale with Hamptons International, with a guide price of £750,000.
The estate agent recommends potential buyers view the property from the inside to appreciate its “many fine features along with the stunning views”.
