King George Square, London TW10

This refined apartment lies within a Grade II-listed former Victorian workhouse in Richmond. Recently renovated to an exacting standard by the team behind Soho Farmhouse, the interiors balance original features with a pared-back material palette and abundant natural light. Arranged across two levels, the upper floor has been transformed into a sublime principal suite.



The Tour



Set behind a secure gated entrance, the building is fronted by a carefully maintained courtyard garden bordered by mature trees. Residents also have access to a designated parking space.



The apartment’s private entrance is on the first floor, accessed via a communal gate and staircase. Inside, a bright hallway is lined with exposed brickwork and crisp white walls, while polished wooden floorboards run throughout.



At the rear of the plan is an expansive open-plan sitting and dining room. Set beneath vaulted ceilings and framed by sash windows on three sides, the room is flooded with natural light. Soft pastel tones are complemented by overhead timber panelling and an original beam. Cleverly integrated shelving is concealed within timber panels that also hide an understairs cupboard.



The kitchen is arranged in a U-shaped configuration with dark shaker-style cabinetry, brass hardware and bespoke marble worktops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, oven and fridge/freezer. Open shelving provides space for glassware and ceramics, while a large farmhouse sink and built-in breakfast nook add a cottagey dimension.



At the front of the apartment is a guest room, currently arranged as a walk-in wardrobe with industrial-style hanging rails and built-in cabinetry. There is also a shower room on this level, finished with encaustic patterned tiles and traditional fittings.



Recently fitted with new carpet and under-tread lighting, the staircase ascends to the generously proportioned mezzanine sleeping area, which overlooks the reception space below. Set beneath vaulted ceilings, the room has a calm, mid-century-inspired aesthetic and soft carpet underfoot.



The en suite bathroom and dressing room is similarly spacious, fitted with a freestanding clawfoot bath, a walk-in shower with a Crittall-style enclosure and a double sink. Bespoke mirrored wardrobes provide excellent storage, while several Velux windows draw in natural light. There is also access to the loft and fire escape door.



The Area



The building is positioned on the northern edge of Richmond Park. London’s largest Royal Park and a national nature reserve, it is known for its historic herds of deer roaming across 2,500 acres. Among its many attractions is the much-loved Pools on the Park lido, open throughout the summer months. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, are also within easy reach
