The apartment is situated in a handsome Victorian terraced house with a façade of London stock brick, dressed with white stucco. Set back from the street, behind a low wall and a garden, the front door opens to a flight of stairs leading to a bright red door.
On the right of the plan is the tranquil sitting room. Here, exposed wooden floorboards complement pale green walls; light floods in through a vast sash widow. The original, cast-iron iron fireplace gives a natural orientation to the room; built-in shelving lines an alcove and adds extra space for storage.
Wooden steps painted white lead down to the kitchen, which is tucked away at the back of the plan. Walls are painted moss green, accented by the white tiles on the splashback. Built-in cupboards reflect light back into the room, and high, open shelving provides extra storage.
The main bedroom has a high ceiling, accented by a huge sash window with views over tree canopies. The second bedroom is currently used as an office and is fitted with extensive shelving.
The colour scheme extends into the bathroom, creating a calming sense of cohesion. White tiling and floorboards accent the sage-coloured bath, equipped with an overhead shower and chrome fittings.
The Great Outdoors
At the front of the house, there is a spacious front garden. Bounded by a brick wall, the privately owned portion of the back garden is accessed via side gate. Evergreen trees flank both sides of the space, adding shade and privacy, and there is plenty of room for a table and chairs and potential for further landscaping.
