4 bed flat for sale

Morrish Road, London SW2

The voluminous upper level of a former bakery is the setting for this expansive warehouse conversion in Brixton Hill. It exceeds 3,600 sq ft with four versatile bedrooms and occupies an excellent position on Morrish Road, which is within easy reach of Brixton, Dulwich and Clapham.

The Tour

The apartment is accessed via a communal staircase that ascends to the first floor. Once inside, a private hallway leads left to an en suite bedroom, ahead to a guest WC or right through a large timber sliding door to the living space.

Extending over 40 feet in length, this massive open space combines soaring timber-clad cathedral ceilings and exposed trusses with plywood floors and original cast-iron radiators set against walls of glazed Victorian tiles. Light pours in from a row of seven Crittall windows and roof lights overhead. A mezzanine level bedroom and dressing room is reached via open-tread timber stairs from the main space and is set behind a glazed wall. A shower room occupies one corner of the room.

The kitchen is set to the north of the plan and is semi-open to the reception, with two points of access. It has been designed as a working kitchen with a Thermador range, a Sub-Zero fridge and stainless steel cabinets and surfaces. Marble tiles clad the floor and a Velux window overhead combines with Crittall windows to fill the space with light.

There are two further bedrooms to the east of the plan. One of the rooms has a large en suite shower room with double sinks by Alessi, a double shower with slate tiling and a large bath. Between the fourth bedroom and the reception is a second stairwell for an alternative entrance or exit. From the en suite bedroom on the western side of the apartment, paddle stairs lead up to an unofficial terrace clad in artificial grass and with excellent views of the surrounding area.
