St Gabriel's Manor, Lambeth SE5

A truly unique and completely refurbished one-bedroom apartment within a historic Grade II listed Art Nouveau building. Originally constructed in the early 1900s as St Gabriel’s Convent and later repurposed as an educational facility, this architectural gem has been reimagined into a residential development while preserving its rich heritage.

This particular home is located at the front of the development, directly beneath the magnificent structure of the former chapel. With its own private entrance and a small patio area perfect for potted plants, the property combines privacy with charm. The apartment spans 514 square feet and has been meticulously refurbished by the current owners to create a space that balances contemporary living with the building's historic character.

Upon entering, the open-plan living area and kitchen immediately impress with their 3.52-meter-high ceilings, which lend a sense of grandeur and space. This central area is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and practicality, making it ideal for modern living. Towards the rear of the property lies the loft-style bedroom, a serene retreat, alongside a stylish and well-appointed bathroom.
The apartment’s character is further enhanced by its connection to the building’s history, yet it remains perfectly suited to today’s lifestyle demands with the interior carefully updated to maximize both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

St Gabriel’s Manor is a gated development that benefits from allocated parking and a daytime concierge/caretaker, providing convenience and added security. The property is offered for sale chain-free, ensuring a smooth transition for prospective buyers.

The location of St Gabriel’s Manor encapsulates the essence of London living. Situated opposite the lush Victorian Myatt’s Fields Park, the apartment enjoys a tranquil setting while remaining within walking distance of the vibrant hubs of Camberwell, Brixton, and Oval. The area offers a harmonious blend of urban convenience and community charm, with a wealth of cultural and social amenities nearby.

Transport links are another standout feature of this property. Camberwell Green Bus Station is within easy reach, offering an extensive network of routes to key destinations across London, including Central London, Brixton, and Elephant & Castle. Additionally, Denmark Hill Station, a short walk from the development, provides National Rail and Overground services, making travel to the City, Canary Wharf, and Gatwick Airport both efficient and straightforward.
