The house, which was once part of a row of buildings, has a run-down exterior but still attracted 'a really good level of interest' from across the globe.
A house on the Thames riverbank in east London, which has long been the subject of local intrigue, has sold for £1.5m.
The property, said to be known as the "leaning tower of Rotherhithe", is four storeys high and 3.5m wide. It was purchased by a buyer from the area."The value in this is an art rather than a science; the buyers will set the value." The house, which was once part of a row of buildings, has a run-down exterior but still attracted "a really good level of interest" from across the globe.The row as it looked before World War Two. The house is to the right of "H. Pocock"The building, now 1 Fulford Street, was formerly 41 Rotherhithe Street. Now the only house on the street, it was once surrounded by shipping businesses.
The company employed lightermen - workers who used flat-bottomed barges to move goods between ships and quays - and they would pull up to collect their wages from the premises. Savills said it believed the buyer intended to live in the house. The former owners sold up as they were said to no longer require a London bolthole.
