Ursula Street, Battersea, SW11

Located in the sought after Three Sisters Conservation Area, this comprehensively redesigned Victorian semi-detached house is filled with natural light and has been thoughtfully reimagined by its architect-owner. The home offers effortless indoor-outdoor living, with full-height glass doors linking the kitchen, dining, and living areas to a delightful south-east facing landscaped courtyard garden. The result is a series of versatile spaces, perfect for entertaining, that seamlessly blend period character with contemporary design.

Upon entering the home, you're immediately greeted by original features such as ornate cornicing, corbels, and an archway that frames a view through to the kitchen. These period details continue throughout the double reception room, where intricate ceiling roses and cornicing complement elegant oak chevron flooring, creating a sense of grandeur. A large bay window allows natural light to flood the space, and a set of double pocket doors offers flexibility to divide the room for various uses, including as an occasional or fourth bedroom. An extension to the side of the house provides a separate utility and wet room, both with underfloor heating.

To the rear of the original footprint of the house is the kitchen, providing a highly functional yet design-conscious space, flooded with natural light and views out to the courtyard garden via the double floor to ceiling glazed doors. Terrazzo tiles surround a bespoke Next 123 kitchen and island with integrated Miele appliances, Dekton countertops and Quooker hot tap.

From the kitchen lies the single storey rear extension providing a large, open plan dining and living area. The contemporary aesthetic involves use of timber beams and striking glazing to bring in natural light. Here a multitude of design features such as Rako controlled lighting, electric curtains and underfloor heating ensure a space for comfortable, everyday family living. Large sliding glazed doors allow seamless indoor-outdoor living with the landscaped courtyard garden. Both the kitchen and extension have air conditioning, sustainably powered by an air-to-air heat pump.

Upstairs features three spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, with the principal suite complete with a separate ensuite bathroom and dressing room on the second floor. A large, family shower room serves the other two bedrooms. Throughout the house, characterful timber framed double glazed sash windows ensure an oasis and electric (both privacy and blackout) blinds in the principal suite provides a cosy space for retreat.

Ursula Street is a quiet, tree-lined residential road tucked away in the heart of Battersea, within ‘The Sisters’, and is one of south-west London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
