If you lived here...

Stepping inside, you’ll find a wonderful blend of historic character and modern design. The open-plan kitchen and reception room is a bright, inviting space, with high ceilings and tall, traditional windows bringing in plenty of natural light. The contemporary kitchen features sleek grey cabinetry, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, creating an easy flow between cooking, dining and relaxing. Soft neutral tones and warm wood flooring complement the building’s original features, while the generous proportions make this a lovely space for everyday living or entertaining friends.

Both bedrooms have their own distinct character. One is particularly striking, with exposed brickwork, a beautiful arched window and impressive ceiling height, all reminders of the building’s fascinating past. The other is equally inviting, with soft décor and plenty of natural light. The apartment also benefits from two beautifully finished bathrooms, featuring contemporary fittings and stylish tiling.

A word from the owner...

"We fell in love at first sight when we saw Wycliffe House. The high ceilings, very large windows, art deco style and novelty of a church conversion just felt so cool. We have also been lucky to have great neighbours who are thoughtful and make you feel like part of a community. We've spent many a days as a family ambling about Valentine's park across the street, taking in the sunshine, watching the cherry blossoms bloom and seeing the swans and their goslings grow (our daughter's favourite). Wycliffe House provided an experience that is difficult to find in London and we're thankful to have found such a special place. There is a lot we will miss about living here and lots for anyone new to look forward to. "
