Restored Features in a Charming Georgian Apartment in London
On the first floor of a late 18th-century building in south London lies a charming three-bedroom apartment where the home’s original features have been restored, replaced, and refurbished with meticulous care.
The 880 square feet apartment lies on the upper ground floor in a space that used to be two houses. Now, the apartment has large windows in eastern and western directions, creating bright open-plan spaces with views of the private and communal gardens at the back.
The L-shaped open-plan living room and kitchen is a wonderfully light space thanks to huge sash windows in two directions.
To maintain that original Georgian feeling, original elements have been painstakingly restored, replaced, and refurbished, like the reclaimed wooden floorboards and fireplaces that add warmth and character to the spaces.
The apartment is painted in a cohesive palette of Farrow & Ball and Paint & Paper Library shades, paired in the living room with terracotta colors in the Togo sofas and the rug.
The large windows are fitted with reclaimed wooden shutters.
On the other side of the room lies the charming kitchen with a rustic reclaimed island topped with a poured concrete worktop and featuring a butler sink and brass taps.
The original brick chimney breast is home to a black range cooker.
The master bedroom is a calm space painted in Artichoke by Paint & Paper Library. The walk-in wardrobe is hidden behind the wall.
The bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath paired with paneled walls and a separate shower with marble tiles. Timber floorboards run underfoot, maintaining a Georgian element to the space.
There are two more bedrooms, overlooking the garden. One is color-drenched in a deep red shade and fitted with bookshelves along one wall.
The smallest bedroom is now used as a children’s room with dark blue walls and rustic timber floorboards.
From the communal corridor, you enter the shared garden from where you can reach the apartment’s private outdoor space.
The garden is walled and lined with decorative brick paving. It features prairie-style planting, mixing ornamental grasses with flowering perennials, and a shed at the back of the garden.
The apartment is listed for £600.000 at Inigo.
