A BOUTIQUE COLLECTION OF BESPOKE
APARTMENTS IN THE HEART OF VAUXHALL
A FINE EXAMPLE OF VICTORIAN
ARCHITECTURE, FALKES HOUSE
OFFERS A BOUTIQUE COLLECTION
OF
JUST
NINE
LUXURY
APARTMENTS CONSTRUCTED AND
FINISHED TO THE VERY HIGHEST
STANDARDS BY AWARD-WINNING
DEVELOPER, MARLDON.
Taking its name from Sir Falkes de
Breauté, an Anglo Norman soldier who
served both King John and King Henry III,
Falkes House is the perfect marriage of
history and modernity. Situated within a
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens c.1820
Conservation Area and originally built
as a convent for the nuns of St Peter’s
Mission Sisterhood in the late 1800s,
the restoration of the building has been
a process of utmost respect.
The heritage of Falkes House is
seamlessly combined with the very best
in contemporary design and traditional
craftsmanship - both synonymous with
Marldon's superb reputation. The end
result is a timeless classic that would
be fit for Sir Falkes himself.

VAUXHALL'S STAR IS RISING
Perfectly located just moments from
Pimlico, Westminster and the South Bank,
and enjoying an unprecedented wave of
investment, Vauxhall and Kennington
are reclaiming their status as two of
London's most fashionable addresses.
From the mid 17th to mid 19th centuries,
the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens – directly
opposite Falkes House – were one
of London’s leading entertainment
venues attracting thousands of visitors.
With the exciting plans underway
at Vauxhall and the adjacent Nine
Elms, history is set to repeat itself.
While Kennington’s insurgence of local
delis, cafés, food markets and public
gardens have all helped in redelivering
the area its coveted ‘village’ title.

IMMACULATELY
FINISHED
NO DETAIL HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED
IN CREATING THIS TRULY UNIQUE
COLLECTION OF ELEGANT ONE, TWO
AND THREE BEDROOM HOMES.
Each apartment has something individual and special
to offer. Set over two floors, the amount of space that
Apartment 1 provides makes it comparable in size to
a house. Apartment 5 boasts a stunning gothic master
bedroom complete with a freestanding oval bath.
As well as the landscaped communal gardens to
the rear of Falkes House, Apartments 1 and 2 benefit
from private patio gardens. Occupying the upper
floors of the development, Apartments 8 and 9
both enjoy spacious roof terraces with stunning
views across London.
Although protecting the character of this Victorian
building was a key priority, the quality of design and
construction is exactly as you would expect from one
of London's most respected developers. No stone
has been left unturned during the restoration and
conversion of the building.
From retaining original features, such as the ornate
staircase and generous ceiling heights, to the
installation of contemporary elements, such as
steamed oak flooring, porcelain bathroom tiles
and recessed accent lighting to the living rooms,
every design decision has been taken to create
a harmonious and welcoming environment that
breathes sophisticated luxury.
The finishes are to a superb quality and the bespoke
kitchens are a particular highlight and testament to the
specialist joinery skills that Marldon are renowned for.
