3 rooms flat of 137 m² in London

Terracotta-hued herringbone tiles lead the way to this home’s red front door, behind which lies a haven of neutral tones and considered finishes, imagined by architect Victoria Manser. The dusky pink exterior is a sign of what’s to come. Inside, the reception room’s exposed waxed blush plaster walls and oak herringbone floor exude warmth. At one end, a door opens onto a suntrap courtyard, while sash windows fill the room with natural light from the other. A gas log fire creates the perfect backdrop for cosy evenings. A convenient cloakroom with fitted storage is tucked under the stairs. Warm tones and underfloor heated parquet flooring continue into the heart of the home – the kitchen – where bench seating and integrated appliances ensure the ultimate space for entertaining. A Smeg range takes centre stage amid the birch-ply cabinets, alongside a Miele dishwasher and Siemens fridge freezer. Electrically operated sky lights and porthole windows combine with a mirrored splashback to accentuate the sense of space. Through bi-fold doors at the kitchen’s exterior, a private patio, planted and landscaped by Sarah Debenham Gardens, is the ultimate haven amid the busy city. On warmer days, kick back on the built-in seating and enjoy dinner cooked on the gas-fired barbecue. Up the herringbone sisal-carpeted stairs, the upper floors of the home are dominated by sleeping spaces. The principal suite enjoys vast sash windows overlooking the leafy street below. A bank of custom-built storage lines one wall, leading the way to the accompanying dressing room and marble-clad en suite bathroom, complete with rainfall shower and underfloor heating. In the guest bedroom, expect ample built-in storage and an expanse of glazing overlooking the garden. A family bathroom with Terrazzo walls and a terracotta splashback serves the guest bedroom, with a bathtub and rainfall shower for ultimate relaxation. On the second floor, a third bedroom with its own shower room and eave storage enjoys access to a Juliet balcony. Electrically operated skylights perfectly channel natural light.
