42 Piazza Della Chiesa Della Trinità

Guide Price £3,400,000 to £3,600,000

This is a very rare opportunity to buy a freehold house in south London’s finest Georgian square.

Nearly all of the properties in the surrounding Trinity Church Square Conservation Area are owned by Trinity House, the UK maritime charity. This is one of only four privately owned houses in the Square. The last time one of the houses changed hands was in 2002, when the current owners bought this property.

The house was completed in 1828 and is unusual for the original features retained, including cornicing, ceiling roses and areas of the original wall paper. Reflecting this heritage, it was the selected property in “Picture Perfect Homes – the Georgian Town House”, presented by Ptolemy Dean, the architect, television presenter and Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey.

Spread across five floors and extending to approximately 2,400 sq ft, this impressive family home offers generous and versatile living space throughout. The property features five well-proportioned double bedrooms, many of which enjoy delightful views across the square and towards the church.

There are three spacious reception rooms, providing ample space for both entertaining and everyday family living. The heart of the home is a charming kitchen breakfast room, perfect for informal dining, with direct access to two under-street vaults ideal for wine storage or practical use such as gardening equipment.

The Trinity Church Square Conservation Area has a strong sense of community, a consequence of most of the properties having a common owner and also the work of the local residents’ association, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026, and organises many social events and other activities for residents.

Outside
The house has its own mature garden with a sunny south-easterly aspect and also fine views over the private garden of Trinity Church Square, maintained to a high standard by the gardeners of Trinity House. Residents have access to both this garden and the private garden of nearby Merrick Square, also part of the Trinity Church Square Conservation Area. In addition, there are three large public gardens within just two or three minutes’ walk of the property.

Situation
Set within a charming Georgian church square with no through traffic, this property offers a peaceful setting within walking distance of the City. Excellent transport links include Borough Underground, London Bridge station (Jubilee and Northern lines) and Elephant & Castle (Bakerloo Line) as well as the Thames Uber Boat services.
Borough Market, one of London’s finest food destinations, is nearby, while the South Bank, just an eight-minute walk away, provides a vibrant cultural hub of theatres, art, and entertainment.
Trinity Church Square, developed between 1820 and 1850, is a distinguished conservation area centred around Holy Trinity Church (now Henry Wood Hall). Its elegant, uniform terraces were designed as prestigious homes, forming what Pevsner described as “an admirably complete composition.”
