A CHURCH clock tower once owned by the Queen and now converted into a family home is on the market for £1.8m.
Highland Tower, in Crystal Palace, south London, boasts a roof terrace with some of the best views of the capital.
"We really enjoyed living in the tower, it's like nothing else. Once you're inside, it's so quiet you forget you're in London."
"One interesting fact is that it was owned by the Queen - and I have the paperwork to prove it."
The estate agent’s description says “The property works for many types of accommodation requirements and would be perfect for those wanting to work from home, for entertainment and even for a family.
“The combination of masses of original features combined with a high quality contemporary specification throughout provides for the most discerning tastes and requirements.”
With it being 300ft above sea level, it provides extraordinary views from the mid to upper levels.
Gipsy Hill train station which connects to London Bridge is a few minutes walk away and there are many bus routes also close by as are the excellent shopping, restaurant and leisure facilities of Crystal Palace all on the doorstep.
