This two-bedroom flat has been the subject of a carefully considered renovation in recent years. Thoughtfully executed by the current owner, its living spaces have been opened up to create a sense of flow throughout and capitalise on the excellent levels of natural light. The apartment has a private balcony and overlooks the large green space of Millfields Park; Chatsworth Road, with its excellent shops, cafés, and restaurants, lies on one side of the building.

The Tour

Chatsworth Court is a striking red-brick building with a curved façade, positioned on the corner of Powerscroft Road and Chatsworth Road. This apartment lies on the first floor, and makes excellent use of its corner position. Entry is to a hallway painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘School House White’, where there is a built-in shelving unit flush with the wall and further storage for coats and shoes. New engineered oak flooring leads the way to the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, which occupies the front corner of the plan.

The kitchen extends along two walls, made up of smart, cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Railings’ above and below solid oak worktops. There is a large butler sink and built-in appliances including a fridge and a slim dishwasher. A glass door to the balcony welcomes light in and creates a sense of indoor/outdoor living, acting as a natural extension of the indoor living spaces in the summer months.

At the front of the space is the living/dining area, although the room would suit a variety of layouts. Four generous windows punctuate the curved wall, flooding the room with light and framing views over Millfields Park. Walls here have been painted a calming Farrow & Ball shade. There is a real sense of volume and space, lending the room a thoroughly peaceful atmosphere.

The apartment has two generous bedrooms, both of which have been laid with seagrass carpet. The main bedroom has green-painted walls in a shade by Lick, with two large built-in wardrobes for storage. The second bedroom has built-in shelving and hanging space; the room would work equally well as an office. A beautiful mix of contemporary and traditional design, the family bathroom has been decorated with hexagonal white floor tiles and wall tiles by Claybrooke. There is a Burlington sink and a built-in bath.

Outdoor Space

The apartment has a private balcony, which receives a beautiful evening light. There is space for a table and two chairs, with room remaining to put outdoor plants here too.

The Area
