FLOOR PLANS for 1 Flint Street

1 Flint Street, London SE17 – Heritage Conversion in Southwark

The Mission 9 at 1 Flint Street Nestled in The Mission Conservation Area, 1 Flint Street is a beautiful restoration of a Victorian police station into the home of nine incredibly elegant residences built for discerning homeowners. This thoughtfully considered development repurposes a long empty landmark into high quality city homes retaining its period character.

The conversion will maintain the character of the original facade and architectural detailing whilst still contributing to the streetscene on Rodney Road and Flint Street. Every home has been carefully considered to conform with today's lifestyle necessities, featuring timeless proportions and flexible, modernised framing that focuses on sustainability raising the comfort standard and performance of the building envelope.

All units create to National Described Space Standards and Southwark’s Local Plan policy requirements. The mix comprises one studio, four one-bedroom and four two-bedroom apartments, each with private outdoor space like balconies, patios or roof terraces. Large window openings and high ceilings guarantee ample natural lighting, with additional energy savings a result of the thermal upgrade of the already-existing building. 68 The courtyard is a place for residents to gather around – a semi-private landscaped square that is inspired by the traditional mews configuration, capturing the spirit of the neighbourhood within busy South London.

Sustainable Urban Living

The development promotes sustainable living, and its car-free ethos is supported by an abundance of cycle storage and excellent connections to public transport. Positioned south of Elephant and Castle, the area benefits from great transport links by tube and bus – it takes just a few minutes to get to the City or West End. Providing secure weather-protected storage for 24 bicycles is consistent with Southwark’s policy on sustainability and sustainable modes of transport.

The building has been gut renovated and no longer uses gas for heating instead opting for electric everything, promoting a low emission energy efficient environment. Only marginally changed from the original site massing, this scheme maximizes land occupation and retains the heritage identity of the conservation area. Using reclaimed building materials and upgraded insulation and sound attenuation makes each house built to withstand both time and temperature.

Design, Security, and Accessibility

All apartments enjoy the added security of gated access and sophisticated entry systems, including voice and video intercoms. The enclosed courtyard makes the site feel more safe and private, with new lighting and gated entryways. Units will be accessible to the current building code and many will feature level or ramped access and flexible layouts. Fully accessible for a wheelchair user, the new-build mews-styled home at Flat 5 meets M4(3) wheelchair adaptability standards with provision for a lift in the future should it be needed.

Inside, homes offer an open layout with built-in storage, high-quality finishes, and effective ventilation systems. On the outside, taking out existing poor quality adds and putting period-appropriate gates makes the site look great overall. Modern convenience in a restored historical backdropThe development seamlessly combines neo-gothic architecture with contemporary London living, resulting in the perfect mix of architectural history and comfortable modernity.
