This excellent one-bedroom apartment is located on the second floor of the seminal Pullman Court. The building was designed in 1933 by Frederick Gibberd and was later granted Grade II*-listed status. As one of the best examples of Modern Movement housing, Pullman Courts grand ocean liner’ facade is complemented internally with a characterful abundance of original features, many of which this apartment still retains.

Well-proportioned and with a private balcony, the apartment overlooks orderly internal courtyards and manicured gardens. The buildings throughout the development are arranged in varying heights and widths to maximise light and shared communal spaces. Inside, the owners have thoughtfully separated the expansive living area and bedroom, where formerly there was a sliding partition wall, so that each room maintains its autonomy and privacy. The apartment has been lovingly maintained by its current owners and original features such as Crittal windows and original doors have been preserved. The living room is incredibly bright and benefits from an arrangement of large windows and a glass door that leads directly onto the balcony. Both the kitchen and bathroom have been modernised and have double glazed windows. Central heating has also recently been installed.

This beautifully realised building has been described as a ‘definitive contribution to flat design, and a triumph of effectiveness and simplicity’. Gibberd intended the flats for young professionals and families, who wanted to live away from the smog of the city. As such, mature trees still shade the buildings from the road.

Many of the great communal facilities that Gibberd foresaw for Pullman Court remain. There is a staffed full-service laundry, residents parking in the estate and also new fibre-optic broadband throughout. The bright common areas are very well maintained, with tasteful details such as chrome door furniture.

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.
