A very rare purchase opportunity! A totally charming almshouse within Caroline Gardens Conservation Area (Grade II listed), famed for its utterly beautiful Chapel (now a licensed wedding venue and film/TV location), which largely-survived a WWII bomb. Chain free.Established in phases 1826-1866, and designed by architect Henry Rose, this is London’s largest complex of almshouses originally known as the Licensed Victuallers’ Benevolent Institution Asylum (LVBI), providing charitable housing (in this case, a sanctuary for retired pub landlords). Almshouses offered impoverished Georgian and Victorian elders the only alternative to destitution or the workhouse.The scale, form, architecture and materials of the Conservation Area are consistent. The modest scale and simple architectural treatment of the two storey houses is elevated to a grand composition through the careful creation of palace-fronted facades providing a generous scale. The site (which was acquired by Southwark Council in 196
