Art deco apartment: Flat in the 1930s George Bertram Carter-designed Taymount Grange in Forest Hill, London SE23
If the stunning art deco house in Great Easton was out of your price range, perhaps you can stretch to this apartment in the 1930s George Bertram Carter-designed Taymount Grange in Forest Hill, London SE23.
Obviously this is a far more modest affair. But very much in the same style and of a similar era.
The apartment in question is on the second floor of Taymount Grange, which was designed by George Bertram Carter around 1935-36.
According to the agent, it is ‘oriented towards the south-east’ and is ‘flooded with natural light’. Both plus points. Another is the view over the communal gardens, courtesy of those large and original metal-framed windows.
Also original are the radiators and bedroom wardrobes, with the rest of the flat described as a ‘wonderfully eclectic and textured space’ with stripped wooden floorboards and bare plaster walls.
As we said, this is a modest space, with the apartment pretty much the living room / kitchen space, the single bedroom and a bathroom. So one for people who live in a fairly minimal way.
However, do get use of the communal gardens to the front and rear of the building and a garage can be rented from the freeholder if required.
£300,000 is the asking price, with an annual service charge of around £1,900 too.
