New Collection Of Homes Launched In South-West London

Multiple WhatHouse? Award-winning heritage developer City & Country has launched the highly anticipated second collection of new homes at The 1840, St George’s Gardens.

Named The Kitchen Yard, these one- and two-bedroom duplexes and houses have been crafted from extensions to the original Grade II Listed hospital, combining period features with sumptuous interior specifications.

The Kitchen Yard is surrounded by a beautiful courtyard in The 1840’s sweeping landscaped grounds.

This latest release follows the rapid success of the first range of new homes at The 1840, which came to market last year and are now over 85% sold. Included in this collection are four completely unique duplex apartments crafted from the hospital’s original Post Room, boasting private roof terraces and extra floor space thanks to mezzanine levels.

Internally, some of the homes will offer features including original metal windows and roof lanterns, creating a striking juxtaposition between the old and new. Additional features include tall, vaulted ceilings, Gothic arches and carefully restored picture windows, with the homes set around a beautiful courtyard with private terraces, carefully curated planting and greenery.

With each apartment featuring unique floorplans designed by City & Country’s specialist inhouse team, luxurious designs and materials have been paired with beautiful colour palettes that are modern but pay homage to the past to create chic and elegant interiors fit for discerning residents.

The homes embrace smart technology, with intercom systems, alarm systems and thermostats that can all be controlled from a mobile phone. High-speed internet and wiring within the apartments make for efficient home working, and the lighting is set up to allow easy upgrade to Philips Hue systems.

Additional benefits to residents include an on-site concierge and choice of a selection of parking options, from secure underground parking with electric car charging points, to on-site cycle storage.

Combining period grandeur with modern city living, The 1840 boasts a prime location with the sought-after neighbourhoods of Tooting, Earlsfield, Balham and Wandsworth Common all within walking distance. Formerly Springfield Hospital, the majestic original building – and the surrounding gardens which also hold Grade II status – was originally owned by Henry Perkins, a wealthy brewer, who obtained them from the 2nd Earl Spencer. Now City & Country is breathing new life into the building and sensitively restoring and redesigning the surrounding gardens, which will be known as St George’s Gardens.

The development is a short walk from Tooting Bec Underground station (Northern line) and also nearby is Earlsfield station, which offers direct links to London Waterloo. Southern trains from Wandsworth Common call at Clapham Junction and on to London Victoria. Alternatively, cyclists can use the Cycle Superhighway 7 with links direct to Cannon Street in 30 minutes. Prices from £475,000. Find out more at www.cityandcountry.co.uk.
