1 bed Flat For Sale £500,000
Positioned a short walk from Battersea Park, this beautiful one-bedroom apartment makes excellent use of colour to create a serene, contemporary atmosphere. Unfolding over the first floor of an early-Edwardian terraced house, the living spaces are illuminated by light that floods in through original sash windows. The apartment is positioned within Battersea's Cultural Quarter, and there are many excellent bars and restaurants in nearby Battersea Square and on the King's Road.
The Tour
Joubert Street is a quiet, calm residential street that backs onto Latchmere Recreation Ground. Dotted with chestnut and blossom trees, it is lined by two rows of traditional early-Edwardian houses, which are set back from the street and have red brick fronts and handsome chimneypieces.
Entry to this house is through a smart, blue-painted front door that opens to a set of carpeted stairs. These ascend to the first floor and the apartment therein; the main living spaces are positioned at the front of the plan, while the bedroom occupies the peaceful rear. There is a large storage cupboard in the hallway. Wide-format engineered oak parquet flooring throughout the main living spaces adds a sense of cohesion.
The living room is characterised by walls painted a deep shade of olive green, creating an atmosphere that is at once welcoming and cocooning. An ornate white-painted mantlepiece creates a focal point, working in gentle contrast with the green walls surrounding it. Two original sash windows welcome light into the space, which takes on a particularly beautiful quality in the late morning.
This space is connected to the galley kitchen via an open doorway, ensuring an easy sense of flow; parquet flooring continues underfoot, adding to the seamless transition. Storage is concealed within white ? Cabinetry, which sits above and below granite composite worktops. There is a handsome brass sink, as well as a new dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.
Positioned at the rear of the plan, the bedroom is a calm, peaceful space that overlooks neighbouring gardens. A light carpet has been introduced, softening the room, and storage takes the form of a full wall of built-in wardrobes, plus another deep cupboard on the opposite side of the room.
The bathroom takes a slightly different tonal approach, with dark aubergine-painted walls juxtaposing with the hexagonal marble floor tiles and the white metro tiles that clad the walls; brass fixtures and fittings in the walk-in shower complete the scheme.
The Area
Joubert Street is a 15-minute walk from the café culture of Battersea Square, which has many wonderful places to eat and drink, including Gordon Ramsay’s London House, Vinos y Licores, Melanzana, Ludlows, and Gail's bakery. A little further down Battersea High Street is The Woodman Pub.
The 200-acre Battersea Park itself is minutes away. Laid out between 1854 and 1870, the park has an extensive frontage and riverside promenade to the Thames. Wide, tree-lined avenues meander around a large boating lake and through open lawned areas, with notable trees and ecological areas in addition to children's play areas, a children's zoo, the Pump House gallery and sports facilities.
The Royal College of Arts is a 15-minute walk away and is building a new Herzog & de Meuron-designed campus. This will sit alongside the rca’s existing Dyson, Woo and Sackler Buildings, expanding the existing Battersea cultural quarter, already home to Foster + Partners and Vivienne Westwood. The recent and evolving development of Nine Elms is close by, as are the boutiques and restaurants of King's Road and the rest of Chelsea, home to The Royal Court Theatre and Saatchi Gallery.
The nearest stations are Clapham Junction, Battersea Park and Queenstown Road, which run National Rail and Overground services. Trains run to Waterloo & Victoria every few minutes.
