1 room apartment of 41m² in Billericay

Part of a boutique development by Tala Fustok, this historic building has been reimagined with a contemporary, pared-back aesthetic that’s both effortless and exacting. Step into the open-plan reception on the ground floor, where dual-aspect windows flood the space with natural light. There’s organic warmth drawn by wooden flooring, which underscores a pared-back lounge. Plush soft furnishings surround a circular coffee table, while the matte-black Häcker kitchen opposite makes a bolder statement. Smooth white flooring delineates this space – a thoughtful setting to start days at the breakfast bar or prep come evening. Pairing form with function, smooth worktops and a mirrored splashback neatly frame high-spec integrated appliances. The bedroom sits just a step above, framed by a partition wall and whitewashed curtain. Its muted palette and uncluttered layout create a calm retreat, seamlessly extending through a sliding door into the en suite. Here, sage green Solus tiles punctuate the monochrome backdrop, wrapping around a freestanding bathtub and rainfall shower.
