Zebra Print in a 159 Year Old Property!

Bold interior design and period features do not normally go hand in hand, but at The Galleries, a breathtaking development in Brentwood, an unusual loft apartment is setting new trends and blowing traditional design out of the water. The loft apartment, which has been renovated and designed by leading conversation specialists City & Country Group, banishes tradition and uses striking prints, bright colours and unusual furniture to contrast the beautiful original features.

Karen Cox, City & Country Group’s acclaimed interior designer was the talent behind this ground breaking scheme. Karen comments: “It is often tempting to use traditional colours and furniture and let the period character take centre stage in an old building, but by using bold prints and colours we have emphasised this unique, striking space and    made the most of its original and dramatic architectural features.

“The original beams divide the room and are dominant features which the owner will interact with on a daily basis. By using the contemporary zebra print rug and low rise furniture I wanted to link the beams to the living space and create a flow throughout the apartment. To maximise the light in the property I used mirrored furniture which is very glamorous and modern.” 

The Galleries is City & Country Group’s award winning conversion and renovation of the 1850’s Grade II listed buildings of the former Warley Hospital. Each home at The Galleries has been designed to incorporate as many of the building’s original features as possible, including vaulted ceilings, ornate cornices and stone arches. Many have views over the award winning landscaped courtyards or access to their own private garden.

The development is located in Warley on the fringe of the popular commuter town of Brentwood. Nearby, Brentwood Railway Station has direct services into London Liverpool Street which takes approximately 35 minutes*.

The loft apartment is priced at £395,000. Prices for other apartments and houses at The Galleries range from £345,000 to £560,000. The on-site sales suite is open daily between 10am and 5pm.
