Trinity Lofts, London SE1

Light permeates throughout this one-bedroom apartment, found on a quiet mews in south London. Its pared-back scheme creates a calming atmosphere and draws attention to soaring double-height ceilings. From the open-plan living space is a private, south-facing patio with room for potted plants and a large table and chairs. Close to all of the new amenities in Elephant Park as well as much-loved restaurants and galleries in Borough, the apartment is also well-positioned for exploring south and central London.



The Tour



A discreet presence on County Street, the apartment is one of seven in the smartly-designed block. Access is gated, and this apartment is at the top to the rear of the block.



Entry is to the airy hallway, where a cohesive, crisp palette is introduced, with white-painted walls and engineered wood floors. Fitted cupboards here provide space for coats and jackets.



On the left is the light-filled, open-plan living space, with a soaring pitched ceiling and full-width glazed doors to the south-facing balcony. Throughout the apartment, there are new electronic blinds integrated into the windows, ensuring privacy and shade on bright days. Contemporary Italian kitchen units by Doimo Cucine extend vertically along one side of the space, and the finishes throughout are of considered quality. Integrated appliances are by Smeg. The space has been cleverly zoned for lounging and dining, and there is a quiet space for working from home.



High ceilings and impressive volumes continue in the bedroom, which has been appointed with a similarly gentle palette and has soft grey carpet underfoot. Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes take advantage of the ceiling height to provide plenty of storage space. Expansive south-facing windows fill the room with soft morning light. A neat shower room with matching floor and wall tiles sits adjacent



Outdoor Space



The living space opens onto a south-facing decked terrace. The current owners use this as a space for dining, entertaining and relaxing, with plenty of space for a large table and chairs.



Leafy climbers and sweet-smelling jasmine weave their way along the brick walls, while glass screens contribute to a private and tranquil feel. There is also plenty of space for keeping potted plants or herbs.



The Area
