Features and description
This well-preserved two-bedroom apartment lies on the ground floor of a mid-century housing block in the pretty town of Sutton, Surrey. Renovated with the building’s original modernist ethos in mind, the apartment bears all the hallmarks of the period, from four-finger parquet to generous glazing and expansive communal gardens. Positioned within walking distance of Sutton’s train station, the apartment is well-placed for travel into central London, which can be reached in around 35 minutes.
The Tour
The apartment is approached via a pathway, which snakes through an immaculate lawned area to reach the building’s communal entrance. Accessed on the ground floor, the apartment’s front door opens to a lobby with plenty of internal cupboard space for coats and shoes as well as extra storage. The rooms fan out from a central corridor, with the kitchen and bedrooms overlooking the gardens at the rear of the apartment, and the bathroom with a separate WC at the front.
The well-proportioned living room lies at the end of the plan, illuminated by large windows that look out to the balcony and beyond. Bespoke shelving, connected via steel poles, adds a striking focal point to the room while providing a space for books and additional storage. Concrete pendant lamps hang over the dining area, cleverly demarcating this section from the rest of the room.
The bespoke galley kitchen is replete with plywood cabinetry and smooth stainless steel worksurfaces, sensitively reflecting the building’s mid-century origins. A studded rubber floor lies underfoot and continues in the bathroom, adding texture to the overall palette.
The apartment has two bright bedrooms: One single and one double. The main bedroom has an excellent provision of storage in the form of fully integrated wardrobes, while the latter is currently configured as a separate office. Both have newly laid neutral sisal-style carpeting.
The bathroom is largely clad in small white hexagonal tiles with contrasting black grouting and matching fixtures.
There is also a separate garage, with space for one car and further storage.
Outdoor Space
An enclosed west-facing balcony lying just off the living areas has plenty of space for a table and chairs, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the outdoors. Immaculate lawned areas that wrap around the building are designed to establish a wonderful sense of community among the residents. Tall, mature trees provide shade and privacy, while paved pathways provide easy access to the building.
The Area
Sutton is the eponymous town of the south London borough and is positioned on the lower slopes of the North Downs. In 2024, it is to be one of the host boroughs for the fantastic London Festival of Architecture.
Sutton High Street has a vast array of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, as well as the Empire Cinema. Number One Thai is a wonderful restaurant and a particular favourite with locals. A large Waitrose can be found nearby in Banstead.
Sutton has also just opened an independent cinema, Throwley Yard. Other entrainment venues include the community-run live music venue and record shop, The Sound Lounge, which is a staunch supporter of the live music scene. Oru Space is a fabulous co-working spot, coffee shop and yoga studio a short walk from the house.
Slightly further afield is Nonsuch Park with a vast woodland, home to beautiful countryside walks and a crenellated country house with a café.
Eaton Road is brilliantly connected to central London: Sutton Station is an 11-minute walk away and runs direct services to London Bridge in 30 minutes, and to Victoria and Blackfriars in 45 minutes.
