Office on sale with own spook
A haunted office space in a 19th century Gothic chapel overlooking Wandsworth Common is on the market for £1.75 million ($3,530,417.42). The Chapel, at the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building, boasts nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of prime commercial space and forms part of a grade II listed, residential, commercial and community complex.
In the 19th century, the site was a home to orphans, and legend has it the building is still roamed by one girl who died there. It was reportedly later used to interrogate foreign spies during World War II.
The chapel itself was built in 1958 in a romantic French Gothic style and converted by architects who kept many authentic features including the pointed arch doorway, the buff stone and brickwork and the exposed wooden beams in the ceiling. Its Rose window is the architectural highlight of the building and overlooks the common.
