Property of the week: a breathtaking Victorian school conversion

Take a history lesson in this week's impressive property of the week – a Grade II* listed Victorian school conversion in Vauxhall.

Built in 1861 as St Peter’s School, this remarkable Victorian school conversion brings together traditional and modern design, and is certainly the most unique property we have for sale in Vauxhall.

Although the entrance to this quirky two bedroom Victorian school conversion is through an ultra-modern glass walkway, the double-height open-plan reception room that it opens into is testament to the current owners’ sympathetic renovation.

Painted brickwork, tall mullioned windows and original wood floors form the perfect backdrop for the owners’ artistic style and retain the character of the building – while the adjoining bright white kitchen is a fantastic contemporary addition.

"The current owners have carried out a sympathetic renovation"

At the back of the property there is a substantial studio room with a 17ft high ceiling, which opens out onto a communal garden.

And there’s a private courtyard too!

On the mezzanine level, the two bedrooms are joined by a Jack and Jill shower room. And from the master bedroom, a large window looks down onto the reception room, giving the impression of a much larger space.

And let’s not forget the location.

Only a short distance from Vauxhall Station for links to London Waterloo and Vauxhall Underground Station for the Victoria line, it’s also right next to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and Vauxhall City Farm.

Take a look at this quirky Victorian school conversion in more detail, or contact the Foxtons Vauxhall office for a viewing.
