Beyond the entrance hall, linked by a
broad internal door, a communal vestibule
features an extraordinary cast iron fireplace ,
positioned midway from floor to ceiling. The
explanation being that ceiling heights and
floors had changed over the many years of
use, but this listed fireplace was carefully
retained in its original position.
Seven of the eight apartments are accessed
from the two halls, with two lifts running to
the upper floors. The eighth property has its
own independent front door.
Finished to a superior specification, as
befitting the Octagon name, apartments
feature underfloor heating or traditional
cast iron radiators and with the high
quality marble, carpet and timber flooring,
designed to enhance and reflect the period
significance of Eagle House. Award-winning
architects Michelis Boyd Associates were
commissioned to create the internal spaces,
with the brief to make them light filled,
contemporary homes that sit comfortably
with their Jacobean heritage.
A full restoration of the fireplaces, staircases
and oak panelling allow residents to enjoy
period features in tandem with modern, high-
tech living, with the latest home technology
including a Control4 Audio System and
integrated Heating & Comfort Cooling
Controls. The Bulthaup kitchens feature
bespoke white work surfaces and a range of
integrated top of the range Miele appliances.
One apartment also includes a private patio,
whilst every resident will be able to enjoy the
landscaped communal gardens to the front
and rear of the property.
