Description
This exceptional residence, originally a Grade II listed church dating back to 1890, underwent a remarkable transformation in 2004 by a local company turning it into one of the most renowned church conversions in London. In fact, this remarkable conversion has garnered significant attention, gracing the front pages of numerous books, magazines, and newspapers. The property has even earned the distinction of winning three international interior design awards.
Upon entering the premises through an impressive gothic-styled brick arch surround, one is immediately struck by the grandeur of the space. The high ceilings, original stained glass windows, and oak doors and beams effortlessly blend with the cutting-edge interior design, creating a truly mesmerizing ambiance.
The reception area, divided into three sections, includes a main reception room, a dining room, and a work station. Additionally, the ground floor encompasses a utility room, a WC, and a generously sized storage cupboard.
Access to the upper level is granted by a curved staircase, leading to a long landing that overlooks the magnificent nine-metre-tall vaulted living area. Two bedrooms, separated by the landing, feature en suite bathrooms and dressing areas with the principal bedroom boasting a spacious walk in wardrobe. For storage, there is a two-story loft space accessed from the principal bedroom.
