2 rooms flat of 475 m² in London

Set on the garden level of an elegant period block, this unexpected home is a gallery of timeless design. From the entranceway, considered details – wainscoting, warm lighting and a coffered ceiling – set the scene for elevated living. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room forms the heart of the home. There’s a sense of opulence to this space, from the Herringbone floors to intricate panelling and a glossy gilded media wall. A bay window with French doors beckons in natural light, lending an uplifting feel to the reception space, centred around a boucle sofa. Considerately set into the rear of the room, a contemporary kitchen is elevated with Miele appliances, marble counters and thoughtful lighting. Matte black pendant lights crown a breakfast bar, or there’s a dining table with seating for six. Elsewhere, a dedicated study space leads the way through to the distinguished principal bedroom suite. Denim blue walls make a statement here, with daylight flooding in courtesy of an expansive skylight and an adjoining patio. To one side, the brickwork of a dark fireplace adds rigour. To the other, a wall of bespoke mirrored wardrobes provides endless storage. Deep navy hues extend into the en suite bathroom, featuring a freestanding bathtub and a rainfall shower. The guest bedroom suite embraces a neutral colour palette, also benefitting from courtyard access, thoughtful details and a marble en suite shower room. The property also benefits from a versatile room that can serve as a gym or office, plus access to the peaceful communal gardens. Location On a handsome street five minutes’ walk from Hyde Park, this eye-catching apartment is close to some of London’s best attractions and restaurants. An array of shops are within a short stroll, or for culture, choose between the V&A Museum and the world-famous Royal Albert Hall. Local Michelin-starred restaurants include Amaya for refined Indian cuisine or Dinner by Heston Blumenthal for molecular gastronomy. Alternatively, dine at Gordon Ramsay’s Petrus and enjoy a nightcap at The Alfred Tennyson. For green spaces, choose between Hyde Park and the peaceful oasis of Ennismore Gardens.
