A Classy Apartment on the Top Floors of a 19th-Century Building
This classy two-bedroom apartment is located on the top three floors of a late 19th-century building in Battersea, south-west London. The apartment has been given a new life thanks to its current owners, pairing soft, neutral hues with a distinguished material palette.
The apartment has a wonderful classical look with reinstated ornate cornicing and wood paneling that have been made to shine. What makes this apartment so unique is the prismatic shape of the floor plan, the amazing orangery, and the rooftop terrace on the top floor.
As mentioned, the apartment is located over three floors, and the living room occupies almost the entire middle floor of the apartment.
Natural light flows into the room via a trio of south-facing sash windows. The high ceilings are decorated with box cornicing, and a classic herringbone parquet floor lies underfoot.
The walls in the living room are painted in Lick’s “Beige 07” shade, which contrasts nicely with the intricate fireplace framed by a relief-adorned stucco and green marble surround.
The kitchen, two bedrooms, and one of two bathrooms are located on the lower floor. The kitchen has a unique shape, but the design of the kitchen is wonderful with walnut cabinets, a peninsula-style marble unit, and bespoke cabinets with custom carved walnut handles that reach the ceiling.
Beautiful reeded glass cabinets have been fitted against the wall above the marble island.
The master bedroom is painted in a light color scheme and features built-in wardrobes behind contemporary carved fronts that echo the reinstated Georgian paneling elsewhere in the home.
The master bedroom also has a working fireplace and a small home office with an antique design in the corner of the room.
The second bedroom is small but it has built-in wardrobes against one wall and a stunning antique writing desk next to the bed.
The apartment has two bedrooms. On the bedroom floor, there is a bathroom with geometric tiles and an arched shower entry. The bathroom on the living room floor has a bath, geometric floor tiles, and striped wall tiles. Both bathrooms have fittings by Burlington.
The stairs leading up to the orangery and the rooftop terrace also feature a cute bunk bed.
A beautiful orangery with a small kitchenette lies on the top floor of the apartment. It gives access to a green-filled rooftop terrace with gorgeous views over London.
The apartment is listed for £850,000 at Inigo.
