The Captain’s House

Steeped in maritime history and graced with exquisite 17th-century panelling, this extraordinary 7 bedroom townhouse in Greenwich is a rare opportunity to experience one of London’s most atmospheric family homes. Sleeping up to 14 guests (+2 in the bunk room), the house combines grand period architecture with warm, characterful interiors, generous entertaining spaces, and a large, leafy garden - all just moments from the river and with views reaching towards the dome of St Paul’s.

The raised ground floor offers a series of elegant and deeply comfortable living spaces. A refined drawing room and adjoining piano room create a graceful setting for entertaining, with French doors leading to the garden. Across the hall, a cosy TV snug invites relaxed evenings, while the adjacent cloakroom and pantry kitchen add convenience when hosting. The dining room is a highlight in its own right - beautifully proportioned, with City views and seating for 10+.

A hidden dishwasher and commercial hot tray allow meals to flow seamlessly, whether catered or home-prepared. On the lower ground floor, the home truly comes into its own as a place for gathering and everyday living. The impressive family kitchen - with exposed brickwork, dual ovens, and a large island - has the scale for professional catering, supported by a dumb waiter connecting directly to the formal dining room above. A breakfast room, informal play area, utility room, and second loo complete this level, along with doors out to the patio and garden.

Upstairs, bedrooms are beautifully arranged and each tells its own story. The first floor is home to three themed suites, named in honour of historic sea captains. The Henrietta suite is particularly enchanting, with its garden views, king-size bed, serene seating, and en-suite featuring a freestanding roll-top bath. The Nelson suite offers a four-poster double bed and en-suite with shower-over-bath, while the generous bunk room sleeps four and includes its own walk-in shower room - ideal for children or an accompanying group.

A charming seating nook - affectionately known as The Chapel - sits at the end of the landing, catching the morning light and making a perfect spot for coffee and quiet moments. The second floor contains four further en-suite bedrooms, each with its own character. A super-king room with a sunny balcony enjoys rooftop views towards the City; others include a garden-facing double with writing desk, a king room with luxurious silk carpeting, and a romantic canopy-bed double.

All bathrooms are beautifully appointed with showers or shower-over-baths. With its rich history, generous proportions, atmospheric interiors, and exceptional Greenwich setting, this remarkable home offers an unforgettable London stay -ideal for extended families, group gatherings, or anyone seeking a truly special retreat.
