Broughton road

A landmark industrial building transformed into an expansive five-bedroom family home for sale. Lateral living elevated with classic design and playful touches.

Few homes have as much personality, or kerb appeal, as Broughton Road. Set within the historic Loud & Western Laundry, one of the few remaining commercial laundry buildings that once populated Fulham, the impressive façade is a patchwork of preserved yellow, red and green tiles.

Inside, the home’s industrial heritage is referenced in its palatial footprint. Double doors lead into an open-plan reception, dining and kitchen space that showcases lateral living at its best. Designed for entertaining, focal points compete for attention and carve the room into defined zones, adding intimacy to the expanse.

Along one wall, shelves are accessed by a library ladder. Just beneath, a glass-sided display garage offers an unexpected window to your classic coupé – and a guaranteed conversation starter. A working fireplace adds a cosy dimension, while two sets of bi-folding doors mean that the rear wall all but disappears, blurring the boundaries between the interiors and the low maintenance garden beyond.

Shaped like a wedge, a veined marble island narrows to a tip that elongates the Roundhouse kitchen and mirrors the angle of the room. Elegant indigo blue cabinetry is fitted seamlessly into the space. The result is sleek, streamlined and considered: a trio of windows bounce natural light onto the white worktops and integrated Miele appliances.

Up the sweeping staircase, four bedrooms are arranged off a generously sized hallway. Dark navy skirting boards, doors and banisters ensure a subtle colour palette weaves its way through the property. The light-filled principal bedroom suite is calm and inviting. Dual dressing rooms keep the space clutter free. A dramatic black-and-white colour scheme adds a decadent touch to the en suite, with its roll top bath and walk-in shower.

On this floor there are two further en suite bedrooms, both featuring warm-toned wooden floors, neutral walls and playfully tiled bathrooms. One further bedroom is served by a family bathroom, where grey, white and black marble tiles are arranged in a chequerboard design and mirrored cupboards maximise the space available.

The top floor is currently being used as a media room, with access to a scenic terrace – the perfect spot to take in the views of the Fulham roofscape. There’s also an additional bedroom suite, ideal for visiting guests. It comes complete with a dramatic black tiled en suite.
