Take a peek inside Burns Lodge, a unique converted school house for sale in Battersea.

The detached home in south-west London has been masterfully converted to blend its rich, characterful history with contemporary comforts. It was originally a school house for the neighbouring church, St Nectarios.

As you approach the property, a gated driveway leads to the impressive, decorative building and there is an immediate sense of tranquility. Arranged over three floors, the living area features an impressive 4.75-meter ceiling height and a working fireplace. The rest of the ground floor comprises a spacious kitchen-diner with a breakfast bar, a study, laundry room, and a guest washroom.

Unusually, you can step out from the kitchen, living room and hallway into the beautifully landscaped garden. Multiple access points make it so much easier to take in the beauty of the space throughout the day.

When you're outside, mature trees and shrubs provide privacy, making for a serene retreat for relaxation. With plenty of room for outdoor dining and growing even more plants, this is a real escape amidst the city.

Back inside, Burns Lodge offers versatile accommodation on the upper floors. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite shower room. You'll also find a further three double bedrooms, one single bedroom, and two family bathrooms.

Other highlights include architectural features, an electric charging point, and exposed wooden beams.
