In a London filled with bland high rises and sprawling new build developments, maybe your next flat should be somewhere out of the ordinary.

This unique apartment is in a Grade II-listed former fire station in Woolwich, and is on Zoopla for £300,000.

With both modern comforts and historic charm, this two-bed flat in The Old Fire Station conversion on Eaglesfield Road, is a very "rare" find according to the estate agent.

Period features are kept throughout, with large character windows bathe the flat in natural sunlight.

Although there is no fireman's pole, the Woolwich flat includes high ceilings, an open-plan kitchen/lounge, and plenty of storage.

The quirky apartment also has two bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom.

The historic building itself is in a gated development, with off-street parking and a communal roof terrace which boasts views of the London skyline.
