Description

Set on the ground floor of Pullman Court—a landmark Grade II*-listed development designed in 1936 by architect Frederick Gibberd—this one-bedroom apartment offers well-planned living space within one of the country’s most celebrated examples of Modern Movement housing.

The apartment is arranged around a generous hall. To the left, a bright, contemporary bathroom is finished with fresh white tiling, a walk-in shower, built-in storage, and a tiled floor with underfloor heating. Beyond, the plan opens to a living area with a fitted kitchen. White units and a timber worktop sit alongside the building’s original Crittall windows, which frame views of the landscaped communal gardens.

The double bedroom lies just beyond the living space, again with garden views through original windows. Parquet flooring extends throughout the living room, kitchen, and bedroom, giving a sense of warmth and continuity.

Pullman Court’s well-kept grounds and distinctive modernist architecture create a unique setting, with excellent transport links into central London just moments away.

History

Built in 1936, Pullman Court in Streatham was designed by Frederick Gibberd when he was just 23. The development was a response to the housing shortage at the time and used modern materials and design thinking. Set among mature trees, the 218 flats—ranging from one to four rooms—are spread across three blocks. The layout was designed to reduce noise and make the most of natural light.

Gibberd was influenced by the Bauhaus movement, and the long balcony walkways give the buildings a clear, functional look while also encouraging a sense of community. Inside, the flats were simply finished, with steel-framed windows and built-in furniture designed by Gibberd, including sliding timber partition walls in some two-room flats to make the spaces more flexible.

The buildings were refurbished in 1995, and the listing was upgraded from Grade II to Grade II* to reflect their architectural importance.
