Streamlined simplicity plays out across the four floors of this calm-inducing home, awash with mid-century design classics. From its cast-iron railings to its light-filled interiors, everything is tuned towards balance and ease.In the double reception room, high ceilings are accentuated with warm white tones, establishing a blank canvas for artwork to pop. Natural light streams through the south-facing sash window, keeping the backdrop bright. A Georgian fireplace grounds the space; mid-century silhouettes in warm browns and teal bring personality. The room flows naturally into a dining area, where doors open onto the garden and tulip chairs in white and red gather around the table for long, convivial evenings.Form meets function in the considered kitchen. Marble surfaces, clean lines and careful detailing give it a tailored feel, with a range cooker prepped for keen cooks. Beyond, a dramatic double-height dining space opens to the garden through French doors. Clerestory windows lift the setting with light, while a sculptural bubble chandelier hangs above a round table for six. Above, a picture window in the upstairs library looks out over the space, emphasising the volumes at play.
