The Victorian School, Battersea

Acquired 2022
Strategy VALUE CREATION THROUGH DESIGN
Status IN CONSTRUCTION
Three conjoined apartments spread over 6,000sq ft, within a Victorian School Conversion, bought from Receivers at auction.

The former Latchmere School buildings sit within the Latchmere Estate Conservation Area, and are good examples of London Board schools. The “triple decker” (1883) was the last school built under the direction of E. R. Robson the famous first architect to the School Board for London. As such it represents the high watermark of the evolution of Board schools under his direction with the typical Queen Anne Style, which he pioneered for school buildings. The other school building is a good example of the architecture of T.J. Bailey, the successor to Robson as architect to the Board. Built in 1891, it returns to the earlier ideal of a single storey school, retaining the Queen Anne Style but with more intimacy than its three-storey neighbour. The buildings were redeveloped into apartments in 1996.

 

Our units will be architecturally upgraded and either let or sold separately.
