3 bedroom apartment

A luxurious and highly spacious ground floor property designed by Murphy | Davé Architects. The property boasts a designated parking space and is surrounded by its picturesque south-facing garden.

The wow-factor hits you the moment you enter the apartment via the wide entrance hall. You find yourself standing on the galleried limestone landing area, formally used as a stunning dining space, overlooking the central and cavernous main reception room. This is the true showstopper, with a ceiling height of nearly 4.5m and a natural Scandinavian oak laid floor area of over 550 sq. ft. this spectacular room is ideal for both daily living and large-scale entertaining.

To your left, and behind a unique sliding door, lies a bespoke home office that can be incorporated into the central space or closed off for privacy. Adjacent is a further separate room which was formally used by the owner as a gym.

To the furthest end of the main room is an informal dining space, set beneath double height glazing which opens externally to cedar decking and steps up to the walled garden. The modern Bulthaup-designed kitchen, complete with high-end appliances by Miele & Neff is situated on the other side of the main reception area. The kitchen is complemented to the rear by a utility area with additional storage and appliances including a wine fridge.

The upper gallery, featuring Italian limestone floors and extensive wall space for showcasing artwork, leads into the second reception area. The room boasts floor to ceiling Critall-style French doors which open out onto the beautiful, landscaped garden. This normally bright and airy space also has a secondary use when the hidden security roller-blinds are lowered and it becomes a home cinema room with projector, Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, and a large 3-meter ambient light-rejecting painted projector wall.

In the south wing, the split-level principal bedroom suite is accessed from the gallery via a raised walkway incorporating a dressing room with an abundance of bespoke built-in wardrobes. The bedroom itself is cantilevered over a shallow, architecturally designed reflecting pool, offering a serene and peaceful setting. Reached by descending a short series of steps, this sanctuary feels like it could be in any Mandarin Oriental. With a radiant heated leather tiled floor and air-conditioning, this beautiful bedroom is encased in floor to ceiling glass which, surrounded by the wrap-around 1800 sq ft private garden, seems to invite nature inside. The large principal en suite features Crema limestone slab and built-in oiled walnut custom cabinetry, along with a spacious walk-in shower and a bathtub, all with Vola fixtures.

The north wing features two additional double bedrooms with garden views, accessed via an additional raised gallery overlooking the main reception room. The larger of the two bedrooms benefits from a fitted dressing table. Between the two rooms is a further bathroom in Crema limestone with a walk-in shower and Vola fittings.
The property is equipped with underfloor radiant heating throughout, Lutron lighting, and a 7 zone multi-room Crestron home automation system with built in speakers, all of which can be controlled by iPad and iPhone.

The south facing garden, accessible from the main and secondary reception rooms as well as the principal bedroom, wraps around the property and has been designed with incredible attention to detail and low maintenance in mind. Featuring Japanese-style gravel sections, Italian limestone, a custom solid teak swing and linear water feature that runs into the reflecting pool, this peaceful walled garden is bordered with beds offering mature shrubs and trees, including Olives, Mediterranean palms, and an area shaded by Sumac for the warmer months.

Built in 1913 as a community hall, Hotham Hall later became a venue for concerts and political meetings, hosting the Rolling Stones and The Who, and former Prime Ministers, including Sir Winston Churchill.

Hotham Hall is situated on a quiet residential street, moments from the centre of Putney, with easy access to the river Thames and all its amenities. A huge variety of wide-open spaces, such as Barnes Common, the Wetlands nature reserve and Wimbledon Common are all within easy reach. There are a number of great restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes in the area.

Transport links serving the immediate area are plentiful, including East Putney underground station and Putney mainline station which goes to London Waterloo in under twenty minutes. The River Bus can be found less than half a mile away. This provides a rather civilised journey to the West End and beyond to Canary Wharf. Finally, there are also a number of good bus routes and easy access to the A3.
