A wonderfully bright two double-bedroom apartment with west-facing balcony and spectacular views, on the top floor of this seminal Grade II*-listed development. Situated in Streatham Hill with access to numerous good transport links, Pullman Court was designed in the 1930s by Frederick Gibberd, and is among the finest Modern Movement housing in the UK.

This flat is on the sixth floor of arguably the best block at Pullman Court, situated at the rear of the site away from the road and overlooking the well-kept communal gardens. The generous hallway leads through two large double doors to the main living room and the balcony, which has incredible views towards south-west London and of the Central London skyline. The large double-glazed windows have their original stripped Crittall frames and give a wonderful feeling of space and fantastic light throughout the apartment. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the well-designed galley kitchen includes dishwasher, washer-dryer, fridge-freezer, electric oven and gas stove.

Pullman Court was originally designed to resemble an ocean liner, composed of a number of blocks of varying heights along an east-west axis, around several large and graceful trees. It was intended to appeal to young professionals (each flat came with a wireless, a gas fire and an ice box built in) who wanted a “country retreat” out of the smog. Today there is an active residents’ committee at Pullman Court; many of the people who live there are genuinely passionate about the building, and this helps form a focus for the community. There are lovely, well-kept communal gardens, including two lawns which are gated and separate from the main road.

Many of the other great communal facilities that Gibberd foresaw for Pullman Court remain. There is a staffed full-service laundry, residents’ parking and secure bicycle storage in the estate, and also new fibre-optic broadband throughout. The bright common areas and original lifts are very well maintained, with lovely details such as chrome door furniture. There is also a house manager whose office is located in this block.

The area is wonderfully green, with the open spaces of Brockwell Park  and Tooting Common within close proximity. Palace Road Nature Garden and Hillside Park Gardens are also both five minutes away. There is an array good delicatessens, shops and cafés on Streatham Hill: the Mediterranean Food Centre; Thompson Deli; Streatham Wine House; and Art & Craft which has a wide selection of craft beers from London breweries and further afield.

Pullman Court is located approximately 600m from Streatham Hill railway station, from which regular trains run to Victoria with a journey time of around 17 minutes. The nearest Tube station is Brixton (Victoria Line). Streatham Hill is served by particularly good bus links, and is well placed for road access to the South.
