Once the residence of Edwin Knight, part of the prominent Knight family behind the John Knight & Sons soap company that played a key role in improving personal hygiene and cleanliness in Victorian London, Voza Developments transforms tired period flat into contemporary abode with grand features..
Situated within a prominent Victorian-era terrace on Redcliffe Square, Chelsea, is a grand lateral two-bedroom apartment, which has been elegantly modernised by prime development studio VOZA Developments. The once dated home, situated on the second floor of a grand townhouse, has been stripped back and redesigned to present a charming and elegant space that benefits from light-filled interiors and sophisticated furnishings.
On the market for £2.2 million, through Russell Simpson, the 1,071 sq. ft., the 19th Century apartment has been reconfigured to maximise the lateral space, whilst also benefiting from restored original features, excellent ceiling heights and bespoke hand-crafted joinery throughout.
Completely reconfigured internally to create a home suited to modern needs, the apartment now comprises a wonderful open-plan living/dining room, which opens onto a partially contained kitchen.
Leading off the main corridor is the principal bedroom suite, as well as a guest bedroom and bathroom. All of which enjoy views through lovely sash windows onto garden square at the front and rear of the property.
Crafted by VOZA’s inhouse design studio, VOZA Design, the interior finishes capture the characteristics of a subtle and elegant central London apartment. Textured polished plaster and lime wash paint provides a softness to the bedrooms and bathrooms, which has been elevated and enriched with natural oak joinery and earthy marble tones.
At the front of the property, which faces directly onto a pleasant garden square, original features have been returned to the living space, with panelling, picture rails and elegant mouldings applied to create a quintessential backdrop for the subtly curated interiors. This combination of period and modern features creates a fresh sense of home that this property so desperately needed.
Felix Langlois, partner at VOZA Developments, commented: “We’re really pleased with the final product at Redcliffe Square. The home was dated and needed significant renovations to bring it up to modern standards, however, we didn’t want it to completely lose its period characteristics. I believe we’ve found the perfect balance and the home is now ideally presented for someone dreaming of a unique place to live in Chelsea.”
Alex Pope, Design Partner at VOZA Developments, added: “During the early design stages for each project we always try to create a unique style and character for each property. Naturally, we do have a certain taste and quality to our work that filters through into each scheme. However, we feel Redcliffe has straddled these two pillars extremely well and we are incredibly pleased with the result.”
Charlie Duffell, Head of Sales at Russell Simpson, said: “This apartment has been expertly reconfigured and opened up to provide excellent living spaces that are filled with natural light. Situated in a good location close to transport links, whilst benefitting from park views, this property is perfect for those looking for a West London home that has real style and character.
“There aren’t many flats of this size and spec in the area that have been finished to this standard, so we expect interest to be high from those looking for the ease and comfort of purchasing a turnkey apartment.”
Redcliffe Square is a quiet and pretty street located close to St Luke’s Church and overlooks Redcliffe Square Gardens with residents of the street enjoying exclusive access to the landscaped green space.
This wonderful two-bedroom apartment on Redcliffe Square is available for £2.2 million and viewings are strictly by appointment only. For further sales information contact Russell Simpson
