The apartment is on the first floor, accessed by a communal staircase that ascends past a stained glass window, which casts a kaleidoscope of colours across the white walls. The front door opens into a short hallway leading to the airy, dual-aspect open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. Incredibly light, two large bay windows at tree canopy height are adorned by beautiful stained glass, a motif that runs throughout the apartment. High ceilings are decorated with lovely period cornicing, while smart wooden panelling has been added to the walls, a clever nod to the building’s past. An ornate stucco mantle is set around the cast-iron fireplace with a working gas-fire inset, flanked by mirrored panels, a sophisticated touch that reflects light into the room.

The contemporary kitchen is organised neatly along one wall. Sleek white cabinetry creates storage space and conceals appliances, while an original maple butcher’s block from William Rose butchers (on Lordship Lane) serves as a kitchen island, the wood worktop echoing the parquet flooring that runs underfoot throughout the apartment. There is plenty of space in the bay for a dining table and chairs, meaning the apartment is perfect for entertaining.

On the opposite side of the plan is the bedroom. This calm room is pared-back, defined by a set of casement windows running the entire width of one wall. Stained glass is inset here, too, creating a colourful view over neighbouring gardens. The modern bathroom is at the centre of the plan. The walls have been tiled with biscuit-coloured porcelain tiles, and there is a walk-in shower.

Outdoor Space

The lovely communal garden is on the ground floor in front of the building, tucked behind mature shrubbery. There is ample space for outdoor furniture, and it is a great spot for dining alfresco in the summer.

Out and About
