2 bedroom flat for sale

Overview

The apartment has a garage en bloc and residents' parking on the estate

Set in a corner position in Frederick Gibberds' Grade II*-listed Pullman Court on Streatham Hill is this beautiful two-bedroom apartment. Defined by its wonderful views, the apartment has a vantage point over the green walkways and sleek lines of the estate, while stripped Crittall windows frame far-reaching vistas of the city beyond. Preserved in exceptional condition, the apartment bears many of the hallmarks of the original design, its pared-back aesthetic allowing light to take centre stage. The Building Built between 1933 and 1935, Pullman Court was designed to resemble an ocean liner, with the original render for the estate a mix of pastel pink, cream, brown and blue. The development comprises several blocks of varying heights along an east-west axis; the north and south blocks are long, narrow buildings of five floors enclosing a central courtyard and manicured gardens. The apartments were originally designed to appeal to young professionals (each flat came with a built-in wireless, gas fire and icebox) who wanted a "country retreat" out of the city smog. For more information about Pullman Court, see the History section. The Tour This apartment is set in arguably the best block at Pullman Court. Situated at the rear of the site, away from the road, it is approached through the well-maintained communal entranceway. A lift runs from the lobby to the sixth floor. The apartment's front door opens to a wide entrance hall, filled with light care of the double-glazed doors to the adjacent living room. The views over London from here are spectacular, particularly from the impressive corner window. Painted concrete floors and stripped Crittall windows come together to celebrate the bones of the building. With its built-in cupboards, the long hallway connects to the rest of the rooms, running through the apartment like a spine. The recently renovated kitchen and bathroom sit at the centre of the plan, with the two bedrooms at the far end. Each room has outlooks over the estate and the wide London skyline in the distance. The apartment has a garage en bloc and residents' parking on the estate.
