About this space

At the top of the townhouse, The Loft is where the real magic happens. With its own private bar (beers on tap, wine, and cocktails at the ready), exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, and original disco ball.

Take charge of the playlist or bring in a DJ — our sound system and DJ kit are yours for the night. Whether you’re toasting with cocktails and canapés or sitting down to a three-course feast, The Loft has everything you need — including a projector, ideal for heartfelt speeches, a slideshow of memories, or even a surprise video.

By day, The Loft transforms beautifully into a space for team away days, workshops, and corporate events, offering a stylish setting that’s a far cry from the boardroom.
