About
Architecture & history Positioned to the rear of the building, you would never know this property existed. A warm sanctuary that has cleverly placed mirrors to provide an expansive sense of space.
All walls are covered in a wonderful print by a company called ‘Mind The Gap’, bringing to life the Victorian glasshouse ambience.
There are three prominent skylights that throw tonnes of natural light in, making this possibly the brightest apartment in the block, and with a discrete private front door leading into an open plan affair.
Porcelain tiles line the floor throughout, and you may also notice a quirk, no radiators!
Electric heating is built to flow through the skirting boards, a wonderful addition and completely unique to this property.
The cleverly crafted kitchen spans one half of the reception room, with resourceful cabinetry and subtly planned storage everywhere.
Fully integrated appliances are included as well as a secret utility cupboard housing the washing machine; it truly is a resourceful use of space with quality fixtures and fittings.
A restored and reclaimed Victorian fireplace centres the living area, with bright natural light streaming in from the roof lanterns.
Either side of the fireplace there are restored original French doors that lead into an engaging bedroom.
A New Zealand landscape is illustrated across the walls from a mural covering one entire wall, a beautiful scene of the morning mist over a lake.
Understated deep wardrobes finish the room with brilliant use of space within, maximising the depth of the wall.
Travelling through the apartment the first of two bathrooms is complete with a wide, tall shower finished in a classic white marble.
An unassuming snug lead down to a malleable guest bedroom that can comfortably double as a home office. A lovely ensuite finishes the space down here as well.
The volume of the space is the major asset to this apartment as it was in a former life an artist’s studio.
There is a 24/7 porter right outside your front door, and the main entrance is a 10 second walk.
Russell Court was built in 1937 in the prominent art deco stylings from the era, built by the same architect responsible for the BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place, George Val Myer.
It’s a building of significance and is well known in architectural circles.
