19th century refurbished homes at affordable prices

Family Mosaic is offering first time buyers in Camberwell the opportunity to register their interest in its latest niche development, Mary Datchelor House, part of a former girls school dating back to 1889.

With many of its original features retained, this fine refurbishment brings the character, charm and elegance of a bygone era into the 21st Century at an affordable price.

Chris Roads, Assistant Development Director, Sales and Marketing, at Family Mosaic, comments: “Mary Datchelor House is a unique project with a wow factor that really has to be seen to be appreciated. The contrast of the original Victorian architecture and modern interiors provides a sense of grandeur that is a breath of fresh air to the affordable homes market.”

Mary Datchelor House is a collection of 5 one bedroom apartments, 4 two bedroom apartments and a three bedroom apartment in the sympathetically restored school building. The original brick facade has been retained while all apartments have been fitted to a good standard with stainless steel oven, hob and extractor hood, integrated full height fridge freezer, a washer dryer and oak flooring. All bedrooms come with fitted carpet and each apartment has high speed broadband, wireless and telephone points and video entry system.
