2 rooms flat of 62m² in London

Mornington Avenue makes a sophisticated first impression – a uniform terrace of richly toned brickwork, gabled rooflines and ornamental detail that speak to the neighbourhood’s esteemed 19th-century architecture. Set on the raised ground floor of one of these properties, this two-bedroom apartment is a calming, classic-meets-contemporary sanctum. A spacious reception room commands the front of the flat with poise. Soaring ceilings, decorative cornicing and a broad archway draws the eye through the full depth of the space, while a Carrara marble fireplace with carved corbels creates a cosy focal point for the roof – set beneath a silver-leafed mirror. Oak floorboards run throughout, lending warmth to the pale palette of greys and whites. The bay area – framed by an elegant plaster arch – sets the scene for a grand piano alongside a circular dining table and upholstered chairs, with garden light filtering through tall sash windows. The galley kitchen is streamlined and stylish, featuring high-gloss white cabinetry, marble-effect subway tiling and a clean run of pale stone worktops. At the far end, a door opens directly to the private terrace. Outside, the garden unfolds in two levels: a raised timber-decked terrace with outdoor dining furniture leads down to a lawned lower garden, enclosed by slatted timber screens and mature planting. Two tranquil bedrooms sit quietly at the rear of the plan. The principal room is all pale tones and reams of natural light filtered through a tall sash window, with the second bedroom maintaining this restrained palette. A modern bathroom completes the home.
