Bassett Road, London, W10

On a coveted North Kensington road, this blonde-brick detached Victorian villa benefits from a sense of privacy; blossoming trees, classic stone balustrade and a cast-iron gate. Beyond its column-fronted portico, a three-bedroom period conversion depicts an effortless dialogue between past and present. Recently completely renovated, the home benefits from underfloor heating, alongside entirely updated plumbing and electrics throughout.

Stepping directly into the home’s social heart, a bespoke kitchen sits to one side of the double-fronted layout. Cooking, dining or socialising – there’s an uplifting air courtesy of a colossal sash window. Calacatta marble splashbacks, volcanic rock counters and a one-of-a-kind extractor form a stylish culinary backdrop, while state-of-the-art appliances and a double oven enable effortless culinary endeavours. Linen chandeliers add a layer of ambiance to the breakfast bar – a contemporary contrast to the restored original features.

Follow ornate cornicing through to the reception room, its south-west-facing position washing natural light across a bioethanol marble fireplace. A symphony of muted earthy tones, the bespoke flooring design takes centre stage here. Nestled between bedrooms to the opposite side, a versatile pocket of privacy is ideal as a home office or a cosy kids snug.

Arranged across the rear of the apartment, three bedrooms are soothing in design. The spacious principal bedroom embodies an effortless style – all dusky hues, curved archways and handmade bespoke storage. An open archway guides into the en suite, complete with a bathtub and dual vanity. A calming air continues through two further bedrooms, each a peaceful place to unplug. Serving these rooms are two shower rooms with sophisticated design – think Zellige tiles, concrete sinks and micro-cement flooring.
