5 bed Flat For Sale £1,750,000
A wonderfully bright and extraordinary 2243 sq.ft. Loft, set on the top floor within The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building - a beautifully converted, listed grade II*, Victorian building within landscaped grounds and internal courtyard overlooking Wandsworth Common.
The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building was completed in 1859 as the Royal Victoria Patriotic School designed by Major Rohde Hawkins who was best known for the schools and churches he built during the Victorian era. This grand building takes on a Gothic Revival style combining Scottish Baronial and French Châteauesque architecture standing proudly within stunning parkland of south west London. The building was previously an asylum for girls orphaned during the Crimean War and is now a community of apartments, studios, workshops, on-site restaurant and a drama school.
The current owners have re-imagined the space to suit their family life and commissioned Eva Jiricna, world renowned contemporary architect, to design this enormous and historical home.
The very clever interior design of the apartment allows for this enormous space to feel extremely open and airy but it also offers areas for privacy and retreat by way of enclosed bedrooms at either sides of the apartment and overhanging mezzanines for work spaces.
The main living space is quite simply enormous, with large period windows on two sides and cathedral like ceiling heights measuring to 7 meters at the highest point. The kitchen area is closed off via crescent shaped structure which could easily be opened up for open plan living. There are five bedrooms in total with one positioned in one of the towers and designed in a playful manner where sleeping deck is used as a bedroom and lower level as an office/work area. There is also another open mezzanine area overlooking a grand living room and can be accessed via a ladder from the side or a normal entryway. There are also three bathrooms and two entrances at either side of the property. The overall space is extremely flexible and can be designed to suit anyone which is such a rarity to find.
This unique property is offered chain free, access to the private resident’s courtyard garden and two parking spaces within the grounds.
Located close to Clapham Junction br and with very easy access over Wandsworth Bridge to Fulham and Central London. The green open spaces of Wandsworth Common are moments from the front door.
