2 bed Flat For Sale £1,695,000
Description
The Village is something of a legacy building. It was one of Battersea's pioneering school conversions in a trend that began in the late 90s and remains very much in-vogue today.
The secret to this longevity? Well, slip into this sublime, first floor duplex on the western corner and you'll find a super example of authentic loft living, from a time when size really did matter. Developers these days would almost certainly carve up the 2,073 sq ft into smaller apartments.
To begin, immerse yourself in the sunshine that spills through the oversized, triple-aspect sash windows and coats the expansive walls, wood floors and almost every corner with a soft, warm glow.
The heart of this home is the huge double-height living space that seamlessly connects to the open-plan kitchen and dining area at the lower level.
There are two double bedrooms, and the principal suite with its sizeable private bathroom is on the upper level via a private staircase. On the same level are a shower room and a bridge to a mezzanine home office that surveys the main reception. You'll find the second bedroom back down on the lower level, with its neat, glazed pocket doors creating a slightly zen studio quality.
Simple, minimal styling is the key here. With so much space at hand you could fill it with stylish accessories, or maintain the current pairing with modern low-slung furniture that already works so well.
The configuration could also be changed or expanded over time and with consent, perhaps extending the mezzanine further into the double-height void.
The neighbouring streets are primarily period homes, giving this desirable quarter of Battersea a distinct urban-village feel. You only need to wander a short distance in any direction to appreciate the assortment of chic and independent coffee houses, restaurants and boutiques..
Green spaces are also abundant, with a three-way choice that includes some of London's best parkland at Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common and Battersea Park, all easily reachable on foot.
Clapham Junction, the UK's busiest interchange, is just half a mile away and has constant connections to Victoria, Waterloo and London Bridge via National Rail, or to London's creative quarter by Overground to Shoreditch and Dalston. If you prefer the bus, there are countless routes nearby.
