4 bedroom flat for sale

Situated in the original library of Whiteland’s College, one of Britain’s oldest higher education institutions and a Grade II listed Building, this truly stunning, especially spacious, light and airy apartment offers modern luxurious living, combined with a sense of history and grandeur rarely on the market in Putney. Designed in 1928 by the eminent and iconic British architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed the Tate Modern, Battersea Power Station and the famous red London telephone box, the substantial Grade II listed main college building dominates the 13.2 acre tiered site as a single unified building, formally and symmetrically planned with a distinct south European influence. The library with its extra-high ceiling retains its original hard-wood panelling, bookshelves and other original features, now contains the very impressive living/dining room and kitchen. Further accommodation includes the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, 3 further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, excellent storage space and a side entrance, which is highly rare in an apartment. The apartment benefits from the use of the prestigious Sir Giles Gilbert Scott development's impressive residents’ gym and library, plus communal gardens and a designated underground parking space. The apartment is within walking distance to Putney High School and has good commuting access to other good private schools such as Ibstock Place School in East Sheen. The Gilbert Scott Building is located between East Putney and Southfields, with both Underground stations within 0.7 mile from the property, providing access into The City and Central London, while access out of London is served via the A3 leading to the M25.
