Goldsmiths' Buildings (4)
One of the residential units (or more correctly, judging by the position of the chimney, parts of two). Each unit comprises a small reception room, a small bedroom, a small kitchen and a small bathroom - for an asking price in 2011 of around £350,000. (But you do have the kudos of living in a Grade II* Listed property!)

Goldsmiths' almshouses
The site dates from the mid-seventeenth century, when it was owned by the famous goldsmith John Perryn. When he died the land was passed over to the Goldsmiths Company, which in 1811 decided to build a collection of almshouses. Twelve were built that year, with an additional eight houses in 1838.
The Goldsmiths buildings were listed in 1981 to protect their architectural value and they are now a major focal point of the Acton Park Conservation area.
In 2011, after years of lying empty, the almshouses were converted into 20 luxury homes by Charterhouse Standard Holdings.
