This wonderful two-bedroom apartment is configured across the ground and first floors of a 1960s block on Brockley Road in South-East London. The interiors have been the subject of a beautiful renovation, employing a bold use of colour to establish a set of spaces that cohere in a truly rare and modern manner. The apartment has its own private garden, as well as an artist’s studio.

The apartments that make up this block were built in the 1960s and are formed around communal greens. Their verdant surroundings are further emphasised by the location of Brockley & Ladywell Cemetery opposite, with their mature oak and plane trees and excellent walks.

Access is gained at ground level. A kitchen to one side has slate floor, oak worktops and sleek dark units. A butler’s sink is positioned beneath windows looking out onto the green at the front of the apartment; this arrangement draw light into this space, allowing for the depth of the colour palette.

A hallway with reclaimed Victorian pine boards underfoot leads through the communal spaces at the rear of the plan. A living and dining room are arranged in an open-plan, with glazed doors leading out to a deck and the garden beyond. These spaces are wonderfully bright and have built-in shelves wrapping the living room.

The garden has raised bed along one side, a deck area with steps down to the lawn ideal for barbecuing and a garden studio. The studio has full-height glazing and is wired for electricity; it also has a separate heating unit and provides an excellent additional work space year round. There is a small garden shed tucked against the rear facade of the block.

The first floor comprises a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and beautiful dappled transom windows, above the door; a second bedroom with two built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom. The bedrooms have reclaimed Victorian pine floorboards and the bathroom has a delightful set of tiles independently sourced by the current owner.
