2 bedroom apartment for sale

A beautifully designed, light-filled home set over two levels, with south-west facing views, a private balcony and far-reaching London skyline outlook. Renovated with bespoke detailing, underfloor heating and UV-filtered glazing on the large reception windows, all set within a secure, well-run building with day porters, cycle storage and for this particular home, a designated off street parking space.

Arranged over the tenth and eleventh floors, the apartment has been finished to an exceptional standard by Studio Ben Allen, with a carefully considered palette of poured grey vinyl flooring, green concrete surfaces and brass detailing creating a cohesive, warm interior.

A blue Valchromat sliding door opens into the open-plan living space, where a large picture window draws in south-westerly light and frames far-reaching city views. The kitchen sits neatly to one side, featuring a green-stained concrete worktop and splashback, oak and ply cabinetry, brass handles and open shelving. A private south-west facing balcony provides the perfect spot to enjoy views across the London skyline, stretching towards the Shard.

Upstairs, two bedrooms are arranged alongside a beautifully detailed bathroom. The principal bedroom is west-facing with bespoke larch ply wardrobes, while the second bedroom includes built-in storage and a fitted standing desk, making it ideal as a home office. The bathroom continues the material story with green concrete finishes, brass fittings and a generous bath with a sculptural shower.

Designed by Denys Lasdun and completed in the late 1950s, Keeling House stands as a landmark of British modernism. Conceived as a series of intersecting residential blocks gathered around a central service core, the building reflects Lasdun’s ambition to reinterpret the rhythm and social cohesion of a traditional street within a vertical form. Its architectural significance was recognised with Grade II* listing in 1993, followed by a comprehensive and award-winning refurbishment by Munkenbeck + Marshall in 2001. Residents benefit from secure gated access, a glazed atrium with concierge service, carefully maintained communal areas, lift access to galleried walkways, and a secure bicycle store.
