The word penthouse is derived from the Latin appendicium, or appendage, but its linguistic origins don’t come close to doing the modern-day penthouse justice.
Occupying the top floor or perhaps the top two floors of an apartment building, penthouses are normally the most luxurious and covetable space in a development.
Whether part of a new build or a historic building conversion, penthouses are designed to make the most of their location, so expect spacious, open plan interiors and unparalleled, far-reaching views, welcomed into the living space by large, often floor-to-ceiling windows.
Outside space is frequently another stand-out feature, with private balconies and roof terraces providing yet more opportunity to soak up the surroundings.
From city to country and even a world-class golf course, let our selection of penthouses currently on the market inspire you.
