As home buyers are increasingly drawn to duplex properties, with their soaring ceilings, extensive space and flexible layouts, City & Country has launched our latest duplex collection at The 1840, St George’s Gardens.
Each individually crafted apartment within the duplex collection each has its own character, featuring double-height vaulted ceilings with restored, historic architectural detailing. The flexible layouts provide elegant open plan kitchens, living and dining areas on the ground floor whilst the mezzanine floor provides additional space for an office or dressing area. Some plots include the added benefit of striking restored features such as a spiral staircase, and stunning original mullion windows offering picture-perfect views of the surrounding gardens.
Providing both cosy, intimate spaces and large, elegant areas perfect for entertaining, each duplex is a home to enjoy, whether enjoying a quiet night in or showing it off to friends. Ideal for those looking for more space than the typical apartment, duplexes provide flexible living across two floors. Some homes also benefit from a private rooftop terrace with rooflights overlooking the mews courtyard, offering a retreat from city life in a one-of-a-kind luxurious home.
Shelley West, Group Sales & Marketing Director at City & Country, said: “Each home at The 1840, St George’s Gardens has been individually designed by our specialist in-house team, ensuring our quality homes stand out and are distinctive from anything else in the area.”
Individually designed to seamlessly blend the historical features of the original Victorian building with the premium specification City & Country is known for, the restored homes at The 1840, St George’s Gardens offer period charm with contemporary style. The chic and elegant interiors feature underfloor heating as well as 100% pure wool carpets to all bedrooms. Stylish kitchens benefit from integrated Siemens appliances and stone worktops, whilst bathrooms are complete with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and Hansgrohe brassware in chrome finish.
The one-bedroom duplex, KB05, is nestled within the original dining hall of the former Grade II listed hospital building. The home features the original historic trusses, which are highlighted by the large, electrically operated rooflights, designed to maximise space and light in the heart of the home. This duplex also offers a first-floor mezzanine level for the bedroom which includes fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom. This hangs over a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area emphasising the double height of the original ceilings and individually designed, quality specification of the property.
The animal-friendly development includes a concierge service available to all residents, with selected homes benefitting from allocated parking and electric charging points. Residents will benefit from a variety of premium facilities; working remotely will be a breeze with a communal work hub due in late 2025, whilst a small communal kitchen in the private walled garden offers the perfect set up to cater to intimate garden gatherings for socialising and unwinding.
Shelley continues: “Situated in such a prime location with the trendy Tooting and sophisticated Wandsworth right on its doorstep, The 1840, St George’s Gardens offers premium specification homes with the perfect South West London lifestyle; a combination which can’t fail to impress.”
Offering the very best of London village living, The 1840, St George’s Gardens includes eight acres of private gardens, while the wider development plan includes a 32-acre park alongside retail and café space, which new City & Country homeowners will have access too.
