Hotham Road, London, SW15

This three-bedroom apartment, with interiors designed by murphy / davé architects, uses innovative lighting throughout and features smoked solid oak wood, Italian limestone and other natural materials. It’s ideal for those looking for a certain lifestyle, as it provides high specification living with plenty of room to entertain, as well as tranquil spaces to enjoy quiet downtime.

Living space:

From the private entrance hall and gallery, the apartment opens up into a spectacular double height reception area. Stepping down into the space there’s a study to one side hidden behind a full height, sliding door clad in red hide, as well as a gym/yoga room. The dining area sits beneath double-height glazing which opens on to cedar decking, while the kitchen and utility room features a hand-finished Bulthaup-designed kitchen with appliances by Miele and Neff. The media room includes blackout shutters with doors that open on to the garden. Both the gallery and the media room are ideal for entertaining.

Bedrooms:

The air-conditioned principal bedroom is a calm and relaxing Zen-like space with a luxurious leather floor, and is surrounded on two sides by floor to ceiling windows which float above the garden’s reflecting pool. There’s also a walk-through dressing room, a substantial ensuite bathroom with Italian limestone slab work and fittings by Vola, plus a separate walk-in shower.

The second bedroom has an ensuite bathroom as well as an adjacent multi-function room.

The third bedroom is accessed from the second bedroom. There is plenty of opportunity to configure the space to suit your needs, if a third double bedroom is required with its own entrance. The media room could be converted into an additional bedroom.

Outside space:

The low maintenance Japanese-style south-facing garden wraps around two sides of the apartment and includes a reflecting pool and a cedar wood deck, as well as mature olive trees, bamboo and Mediterranean palms. An Italian limestone patio is perfect for entertaining and BBQs, and there’s room for a sauna or ice bath. There is also designated off-street parking.

The local area:

The apartment is one of eight apartments in Hotham Hall, which is a short walk to vibrant Lower Richmond Road which has coffee shops, a greengrocer’s, a popular local butcher, The Parson’s Nose, as well as an art gallery.

Putney High Street is close by too, and trains from Putney train station to central London take just 18 minutes. East Putney and Putney Bridge stations on the District line are within walking distance.

The apartment benefits from a high-end alarm system, electric shutters and a secure building, so it’s the ideal property for those who spend time overseas for work or pleasure.
