Park Terrace in Battersea: largest Victorian laundry in the world converted into nine family-sized luxury townhouses

The former London and Provincial Steam Laundry Company was the largest laundry in the world and washed clothes for the royal household – and is now the site of nine new family townhouses.
£2.95 million: nine four-bedroom townhouses at Park Terrace in Warriner Gardens close to Battersea Park, with off-street parking, courtyard gardens and roof terraces

Just along from handsome red-brick mansion blocks facing 200-acre Battersea Park is a scheme of nine new family townhouses.

These striking homes have four bedrooms, off-street parking, a roof terrace and an airy lower-ground floor with open-plan kitchen and dining space opening to a south-facing courtyard garden.

Not cheap at nearly £3 million, the houses have been built on the site of the former London and Provincial Steam Laundry Company, which in its Victorian heyday was the largest laundry of its type in the world and famously washed clothes for the royal household.

A mellow-brick façade features bay windows, while sleek, Scandi-style interiors have white walls and other high-quality finishes including polished plaster, glazed corridors, underfloor heating and comfort cooling.

The design respects the scale and character of neighbouring Victorian housing and is the creation of noted Spitalfields-based architects and designers Child Graddon Lewis.

Original terracotta plaques depicting washerwomen have been salvaged and reused within the scheme.

“These are real family homes as distinct from the apartment blocks on offer at nearby Nine Elms,” says estate agent David Salvi.

Called Park Terrace, each house has 2,768 sq ft of space and costs £2.95 million. Call 020 7549 6969.
