1-bedroom Flat for rent at Henry Chester Building, London, SW15

Set on a private road on the edge of Putney Lower Common, Henry Chester Building is a development of just 24 apartments completed in 2017 on a site with early-20th-century heritage. The architecture reflects that history, with Art Deco-influenced facades and generous, light-filled rooms.

This one-bedroom apartment is finished to a high specification throughout, with an open-plan kitchen and living area, a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, engineered wood flooring, underfloor heating, and a private balcony made for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The energy-efficient, well-insulated build keeps it warm in winter and running costs sensible.

Residents have the use of a secure allocated underground parking space (arranged on request), a communal roof terrace, bicycle storage, beautiful private gardens and a well-kept entrance lobby.

The setting is the quiet draw: just off Lower Richmond Road, moments from the open green of Putney and Barnes Commons and a short walk from the Thames towpath, with the area's independent shops, cafés and riverside pubs close by.
