Developing A Rustic Charm

Located a stone’s throw from Sloane Square sits 14 Cliveden Place, a Grade II listed duplex apartment, recently modernised and restored by VOZA Developments. On the market for £1.725 million, through Russell Simpson, the 852 square foot home comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage room and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.

Characterised by its Regency Era brick and stucco-fronted townhouses, Cliveden Place has long attracted high-profile residents, most notably pioneering political couple Aneur ‘Nye’ Bevan and Jennie Lee, founders of the NHS and Open University respectively.

Leo Russell, Director at specialist prime London estate agents Russell Simpson, commented: “This duplex apartment at 14 Cliveden Place has been extensively remodelled, transforming a dated flat into a modern, well proportioned home. Located within a short walk of Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and Elizabeth Street this home would be perfect for a single professional, young couple or as a pied à terre.”

Felix Langlois, partner at VOZA Developments, commented: “We wanted to create a home that was contemporary but with a traditional feel. By reimagining the layout and carefully restoring many of the building’s original features, I believe we have created a homely space that has a calm and natural feel. ”

Filled with natural light, 14 Cliveden Place benefits from double aspects with views across Belgravia with the spire of St Barnabas Church and the chimneys of Battersea Power Station defining the skyline.

The second floor is the focal point of the apartment, with the open-plan kitchen/dining room being the standout space. The kitchen features dark green coloured cabinetry with brass ironmongery, complete with built-in appliances and Fior di Bosco marble worktops. Waney edge timber shelves add a country feel, with an island breakfast bar and bespoke oak table providing ample dining space.

The reception room flows off of the kitchen/dining area and has been dressed with carefully selected pieces of furniture that are available for purchase with the apartment.

The upper floor provides a master bedroom suite, guest bedroom, guest bathroom and airing cupboards. The bedrooms have been designed to maximise light and space, with a soft colour palette and jute bouclé carpets to create a rustic contemporary feel.

The guest bathroom has been extended from its original configuration and finished with hand made ceramic tiled walls and Carrara marble flooring. The master bathroom includes Antique White ceramic tiling and natural stone flooring, giving it a paired back and airy feel.

Alex Pope, Design Partner at VOZA Developments, added: “We want all of our projects to have a character of their own. So, when it came to dressing 14 Cliveden Place, we chose bespoke pieces of upcycled furnishings, antiques and artwork, as well as feature planting that, when combined, create a unique and homely space that we hope somebody will fall in love with.”
