Property description
This extraordinary home on Bedford Road is a triumph of innovative architecture and thoughtful design, brought to life by Clive Chapman Architects in the late ’90s. Celebrated in renowned publications such as The Sunday Times Style, Marie Claire, and The Wall Street Journal, the property is a striking blend of contemporary aesthetics and eco-conscious craftsmanship, crowned by its iconic barrel-vaulted copper roof. Offering a seamless fusion of luxury, functionality, and sustainability, this home is a rare gem in the heart of Clapham.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a stunning open-plan ground floor, illuminated by 12-foot high glass bi-fold doors that bathe the space in natural light. The design cleverly balances openness with cozy living, exemplified by a sunken conversation pit inspired by Eero Saarinen’s Miller House. This feature includes a 360-degree fireplace, bar area, and retractable projection screen – perfect for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings. Adjacent is a state-of-the-art Pedini-designed Italian kitchen, equipped with nine hobs, three ovens, a bar fridge, coffee station, and commercial-grade appliances, offering unparalleled convenience for culinary enthusiasts.
The raised dining area, capable of hosting up to 14 guests, doubles as a versatile space for recreational activities. The ground floor also boasts a utility room with industrial-grade facilities, an office, a spacious games room that can serve as an additional bedroom, and a meticulously finished wet room, ensuring functionality meets luxurious living. Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find a mezzanine space currently styled as a library and drawing room – a tranquil retreat for relaxation or creativity. The accommodation includes four bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to combine comfort and elegance. The primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring double-height ceilings, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi and standalone shower. Laundry becomes effortless with integrated chutes connecting directly to the utility room below. Two additional bathrooms complete this level, ensuring convenience for family and guests alike.
