Description
Full Description - Keating Estates are proud to present to market a striking and unique one bedroom apartment with a private garden terrace and its own front door, set within the exclusive gated development of The Metalworks in the heart of Clapham Old Town. Designed by award-winning developers, The Metalworks has transformed a historic metal workshop into an architecturally remarkable collection of loft-style homes, seamlessly blending industrial heritage with contemporary luxury. The site was originally occupied by Art Metal Works, established in 1904 by William Bainbridge Reynolds, an important figure in the metalworking world, best known for works such as the Kitchener Chapel gates at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
This exclusive development is set behind grand arched gates which lead around to the central courtyard, off which sits this apartment, with its own private entrance creating an immediate sense of individuality. Set back behind privacy hedging and elegant black railings, a large glass door flanked by arched windows introduces the property with character and charm. Stepping inside, the apartment continues to impress with a design that is both warm and industrial, accentuated by exposed brickwork, bespoke finishes, and thoughtful architectural detailing.
The open-plan reception and kitchen area is a stylish centrepiece of the home boasting the proportions in which to cook, dine and lounge. Engineered oak planks in a warm mahogany stain, complemented by pendant lighting in black and copper, create a welcoming atmosphere. The bespoke matt-black handless kitchen is both sleek and practical, with integrated Smeg appliances, a feature copper sink, wine cooler, and a distressed copper splashback adding to the sense of individuality. A Sonos speaker system is already installed, ideal for entertaining, while French doors extend the living space to the private garden terrace.
This low-maintenance outdoor retreat enjoys a private setting, ideal for dining al fresco or summer BBQs. There is also the immense benefit of having the vast green spaces of Clapham Common just a three-minute stroll away.
The bedroom is generously proportioned, with the same oak flooring continuing through, boasting pendant bedside lighting and charming arched window. Leading through into the bedroom, a large dressing area is equipped with built-in wardrobes providing copious storage space.
The bathroom is a luxurious sanctuary, finished to the highest standard. Stylish black floor tiles are paired with matt white wall tiles for a timelessly classic look. A double-ended bath with rain-shower, frameless glass screen and a bespoke vanity unit in wood and iron combine to create a sophisticated and calming ambience.
The development itself is unique, with residents enjoying access to a beautifully landscaped private courtyard. Historic features have been preserved and celebrated, including cart tracks embedded within the cobbled mews, railway sleeper seating, aged copper planters, and bespoke lighting ranging from classic coach lamps to contemporary festoons – a thoughtful nod to the building’s artisanal past. A colour video entry system within the home provides additional peace of mind within this secure gated setting.
Clapham Old Town is one of the most desirable locations south of the river, with its picturesque Georgian and Victorian architecture, leafy streets, and vibrant village-like atmosphere. A wealth of amenities is on the doorstep, from Michelin-starred dining at Trinity to relaxed evenings at one of the area’s charming pubs or cocktail bars. Venn Street offers a boutique cinema, live music, and a weekly food market brimming with artisan produce. The vast green expanse of Clapham Common, just a three-minute walk away, offers 220 acres of open space for sports, picnics, or summer events. Excellent transport links place the Northern Line within easy reach via Clapham Common tube station, just a short walk from the property, alongside numerous bus routes for swift connections across London.
This one-of-a-kind apartment at The Metalworks offers a rare opportunity to live in a home that is both steeped in history and designed for modern living, in a prime Clapham Old Town location.
Chain-free.
