Ormonde Court, Upper Richmond Road, London SW15

This refined two-bedroom apartment lies on the fifth floor of Ormonde Court, a sought-after art deco block in Upper Richmond Road. Recently renovated by the current owners, the interiors are defined by a sophisticated palette and considered finishes, with original wood floorboards and bespoke fitted joinery creating a sense of cohesion throughout. A private balcony extends the living space and overlooks the tranquil communal garden. East Putney and Barnes stations are both close, along with Putney’s thriving high street and green spaces.



The Tour



Ormonde Court is approached via a pristine entrance lobby, which reveals a carefully landscaped communal garden and a recently restored 1930s red-brick façade. The courtyard-facing elevations unfold in a U-shape configuration, punctuated by expansive glazing and white-rendered balconies.



Communal stairs and a lift lead to the fifth-floor apartment. Here, the front door opens directly to the kitchen, impeccably appointed with bespoke units in dark tones and brass hardware. There are sleek quartz work surfaces, a white-tiled splashback, and overhead cupboards set at a high level. Integrated appliances by Bosch include an induction hob, oven, microwave, and integrated fridge freezer. Encaustic tiles in a geometric pattern run underfoot.



Beyond is a spacious reception area, with a wide south-facing window that allows abundant natural light in. Finished in neutral tones, the sitting room is oriented toward a wall of fine joinery with a mix of open shelving and cupboards. The dining area is tucked to one side and anchored by a built-in bench with integrated storage underneath. Double doors open to a generous private balcony overlooking the communal garden. Original wood floorboards in rich tones add depth to the space and continue throughout the apartment.



An internal hallway connects to the main bedroom at the rear. Private and bright, it has a large south-facing window and a capacious full-height wardrobe along one wall. A study/double bedroom is found at the front of the plan, finished with neutral tones and a tropical-inspired wallpaper.



The bathroom is fitted with a shower over a bath with white metro tiles and practical built-in shelving. The walls are finished in a dramatic lead grey, 'Down Pipe' by Farrow & Ball, while mid-century matt tiles extend underfoot.



Residents have access to generous underground storage with space for larger items and a separate secure bike room. There is also on-street parking available with permits.



Outdoor Space



The dining area opens to a small private balcony, perfect for sipping a morning coffee or relaxing. Careful attention has been paid to the communal courtyard garden, thoughtfully landscaped with quiet areas for outdoor seating. At its core, a sweeping lawned area is bordered by a variety of hedges and flowering shrubs.
