Dumbarton CourtBrixton Hill, London SW2
SOLD
Dumbarton Court is a smart Modern Movement buildingbuilt to a design by Couch & Coupland in 1939. This brighttwo-bedroom apartment has elevated views from the thirdfloor to the treetops of Rush Common opposite, and hasbeen sensitively refurbished in keeping with the building’sintentions.
Dumbarton Court lies on Brixton Hill, inside the RushCommon and Brixton Hill Conservation Area. The buildingbears the hallmarks of 1930's design with wonderfullycurved white balconies, Crittal windows, and duck-egg bluedetails in the communal areas. A recent and well-conceivedrefurbishment ensured that the facade of the buildingretains its original stature, with new steel-framed Crittalwindows.
Entry is to the hallway, that runs the length of theapartment. This has been fitted with custom cabinetry, toprovide extra storage and additional kitchen facilities. To
