From the outside, this building doesn’t look like much.
Once it was a Victorian laundry, then a photography studio for a celebrated photographer who worked with the Rolling Stones.
Now, it’s been transformed into a two-bedroom house and is on the market for £1.35million.
Inside the unique property, situated in Battersea, south London, there’s a painting studio, which is where the name ‘House for a Painter’ comes from.
The description explains: ‘The remarkable property was created from a former Victorian laundry by Dingle Price, of Pricegore architects, in collaboration with his client and current owner, a contemporary artist and painter.’
The owner currently hosts a community of artists and makers in the studio but it’s a beautiful place to live too.
There’s an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, a shower room and two large closets on the ground floor, with a small courtyard at the back.
Upstairs, there’s a large landing, a bathroom, another walk in closet and two bedrooms, each with stable door-style windows looking over the studio space below.
If you aren’t very artistic and don’t need the studio, the current owner has drawn up proposals including adding an office mezzanine or a third bedroom.
The property is on Haydon Way in Battersea, which is described as ‘a quiet cul-de-sac’.
But there’s plenty of hussle and bussle nearby as iit’s just around the corner from Battersea Old Town and Northcote Road with lots of independent shops and dining opportunities.
Clapham Junction station is also nearby if you want to head into central London.
It can all be yours if you’ve got £1.35million to spare.
Let’s take a look around:
