When I think about penthouses, I envisage sprawling, modern, city apartments (they won’t be referred to as ‘flats’) at the very top of skyscrapers. They’d have balconies and roof gardens that have panoramic, far-reaching, 360º views over the urban sprawl below. They’d be eye-wateringly expensive located somewhere like NYC, Hong Kong or Abu Dhabi.
But we do have penthouses here in the UK – and not all of them require you to be a millionaire. Saying that, I absolutely adore The Old Brewery and the way it has been sympathetically restored so far. But you get an awful lot of real estate for your one and a quarter million pounds.
