2 bedroom apartment for sale

Architecture & Interior
Shepperton Road school (renamed Chaplin House) was converted in the mid 2000s into a series of spacious residential units. This duplex apartment has beautiful original Victorian sash school windows, a wonderful asset to the property.

Up on the first floor of the building, natural light is thrown throughout the day and is incredibly private as you are not overlooked. As you enter the apartment, bedroom 2 is on your left & is currently arranged as a guest bedroom & study. Adjacent is a separate guest W/C and a huge storage cupboard, perfect for any large items.

Further inside, it opens up into a beautiful open-plan reception room. Original tall victorian sash windows throw in great light, curating a relaxing living space. The kitchen situated at one end, includes fully integrated appliances and cleverly utilises storage and counter-top space.

Upstairs onto the top floor mezzanine, the principle bedroom has an airy and spacious feel, with plenty of space for an additional work area, and built-in wardrobes, a rarity now in more modern developments. A family bathroom completes the apartment, and includes bath w/ overhead shower, wash basin and W/C.

The property benefits from a private parking space, a rarity this close to central London. On average private parking spaces in this area rent out for around £175-£200 per month, making it a great earner if you do not have a car.

Chaplin House’s communal areas are exceptionally well kept, with clean-cut grass, shrubs and paths. There is also shared bike storage, secure fob gate & building entry and lifts to all floors.
