The property was designed by Hungarian-born architect Erno Goldfinger, who moved to Britain in the 1930s
The architect moved to Britain in the 1930s and was an important figure in the British modern movement.
He believed that high-rise buildings were the answer to Britain’s post-war housing problems.
While that belief won him many fans, it also attracted a host of detractors, including James Bond author Ian Fleming who named his most infamous villain after the architect.

The unique Trellick Tower is a 31-storey heritage building built in 1972
Trellick Tower is a 31 storey Grade II listed block. Built in 1972, it has a separate service tower that creates a distinctive silhouette.
To maximize living space, Goldfinger moved all logistical aspects of the design—including elevators, stairs, and even communal laundromats—to the service tower.
The heating system and water tanks are also housed there, in the technical room at the top, allowing the water to flow to the apartments by gravity, minimizing piping.
Similar spatial issues are evident in the flats, with windows pushed to their largest dimensions to provide as much light as possible, while many of the doors slide rather than swing.
The leasehold apartment for sale has two bedrooms, including this double bedroom with plenty of storage space
The living room has large windows the length of one wall to maximize light
The kitchen has space for a dining table and chairs and is equipped with storage space along an entire wall
