Setting the Scene
This apartment is particularly light thanks to the expansive windows and lofty ceilings. The owner, aware of the interplay between light and space, has carefully curated a palette of warm and saturated hues. These carefully chosen colours reveal a captivating play of light throughout the apartment, transforming from a gentle morning glow to a dramatic evening ambience, thereby enhancing its charm and character. For more information, see the History section.
The Grand Tour
The front door of the apartment opens into a generous hallway with a useful coat cupboard at one end. Behind an elegant door sits an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. Painted in 'Red Earth' by Farrow and Ball, the room is wonderfully characterful, with an ornate fireplace surround, high ceilings, and wooden floors. A tall box bay window sits at the front, framing the spectacularly green views, thanks to the many trees planted along the street. The kitchen comprises yellow cabinetry with a marble splashback. This time painted 'Orange Coloured White', helping to delineate one space from the other.
Beyond the guest WC, nestled at the rear of the apartment, lies the versatile third bedroom, currently serving as a functional office space. Its walls have a limewashed finish, painted in the captivating hue of 'Carmine' from Bauwerk, a deep and rich brownish red that beautifully complements the elegant grey stone slate featured in its en suite shower room.
The stairs, fitted with a textural sisal stair runner, lead to two further bedrooms on the upper floor. The principal bedroom, painted in a soothing pistachio green, has a charming box bay window mirroring the one below. A wall of fitted cupboards ensures plenty of storage. The charming third bedroom, painted in a soft marigold yellow, is perfectly serene, making it an ideal space for a child's bedroom or a welcoming guest retreat. Its pitched ceiling creates a voluminous atmosphere, adding to the room's allure. Notably, each bedroom has an en suite bathroom or shower room.
The entrance to the bright sunroom has a domed ceiling, amplifying the sense of space. The current owner has highlighted this feature by painting it in 'Orangery' by Farrow and Ball, harmoniously echoing the colour scheme in the room. Skylights and a glazed wall of bi-fold doors bathe the space in natural light, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outdoors. This versatile room is a tranquil oasis throughout the year, reminiscent of a "jardin d’hiver" or winter garden, providing a delightful retreat even during the colder months.
Above is a large attic providing additional storage space.
The Great Outdoors
A remarkable south-facing terrace sun terrace unfolds from the sunroom, revealing an oasis of tranquillity. Enclosed red brick walls, this haven invites alfresco dining, sun-drenched lounging, or even rejuvenating yoga sessions. Carefully curated by the current owner, this private sanctuary has palm trees, lending a tropical ambience that harmoniously complements the sun-drenched hues permeating the surroundings. Views stretch beyond neighbouring rooftops and leafy trees.
