This wonderfully unique and spacious family home is a rare find. Set in a historic red-brick, converted schoolhouse, both the quintessentially British exterior and the stunning interior with exceptionally high ceilings, bold artwork and a striking curved sculptural staircase allow this home to stand in a class of its own. The light interior is a treat for both the kids and the grown-ups with an incredibly large kitchen and two-table dining space, a piano for dinnertime serenades, charming family bedrooms and a beautiful playroom made for dreaming. Have a home movie night wrapped up in the cosy sunken sofa area or why not kick back with your choice from the library of artsy books? Enjoy the humble delights of Battersea Park, just 200 metres away as well as the glitz and glamour of elegant Chelsea – only a twenty-minute stroll over the river.
