Located in The Bolton’s Conservation Area, this attractive 2-bedroom, 1,042 sq ft apartment has been subject to a scheme of complete refurbishment, seamlessly blending contemporary and sophisticated design with Victorian heritage.
Previously on the market with two estate agents without success, Maskells put in place the correct marketing strategy and advice. Knowing exactly who the apartment would suit, viewings were arranged on a Wednesday, prior to the official launch. Following the weekend, with the perfect buyer identified, terms were agreed at the asking price of £1,950,000 for the leasehold. Both buyer and seller worked efficiently to execute a swift exchange of contracts with a simultaneous completion.
The apartment’s refurbishment was undertaken by VOZA, a London based design and development manager focused on sourcing, designing and delivering exceptional projects. Combining backgrounds and disciplines within the construction and development sectors, VOZA had the skill, ambition and vision to bring a fresh perspective to this project.
Entered on the second floor, there is a wonderful view along the corridor towards the fabulous reception room. Flooded with natural light, this room has high ceilings with three large windows overlooking the pretty garden square. There is an adjacent kitchen with beautiful bespoke joinery and creative backlighting
Towards the rear of the apartment are two peacefully located double bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. There is another double bedroom, with a dressing room, which is supported by another bathroom which also doubles as a guest cloakroom. The apartment is finished with natural woods, panelled walls and a sympathetic palette throughout, creating a sophisticated yet homely ambiance.
Redcliffe Square was built as part of the Gunter estate in the 1860s. Robert Gunter planned most of the development of the estate with much of the design by his surveyor George Godwin, working with his brother Henry. The name Redcliffe was chosen due to Godwin's connections with St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol. This square garden was given to the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea at no cost in 1949, providing its character was maintained. This is now an appealing, tree-lined London square garden ideal for relaxation, with lawns, mixed shrubberies and a small play area for younger children.
The building the apartment is in included an artist’s studio in the 1920s, the Australian/British woodcut artist John Hall Thorpe (1874–1947) being resident.
The apartment is well located for transport options with Earls Court tube station (District and Picadilly lines) and West Brompton station (District line and Overground) both nearby. The shops, cafes and restaurants of the Old Brompton Road and Fulham Road are within easy reach.
Jamie Hope, Managing Director of Sales at Maskells, commented “With two agents having previously failed to achieve a result, the sale through Maskells Estate Agents of this exquisite apartment in Redcliffe Square demonstrates that a motivated team with their finger on the pulse of the market will achieve the desired result. Demand continues for well-presented properties, if you are considering a move and would like action, Maskells is ready, willing and more than able to assist”.
