Bayswater Road, London, W2

A handsome Victorian building dating back to 1893. Intertwining innovation and tradition, the interiors showcase meticulous attention to detail.

From the onset, a lobby and concierge set a sophisticated tone. Engineered oak floors and an understated colour palette continue up into the heart of the home – the open plan kitchen, dining and living room. State-of-the-art appliances – including Miele ovens and an induction hob – elevate the culinary experience. An impressive island serves as both a functional workspace and breakfast bar, while a mirrored splashback adds depth to the space.

The dining and reception area is fashioned for hosting. A marble-topped table stands as the centrepiece in front of the large bay window, while statement armchairs invite relaxation. Thoughtfully designed lighting with dimmable spotlights and overhead LEDs allows for the perfect ambiance at any time of day.

Neutral tones are layered with texture in the calming principal suite. To one side, a large window ensures an abundance of natural light; to the other, custom-fitted wardrobes lead the way to an en suite bathroom. A marble finish brings a sense of serenity, while a deep bathtub and rainfall shower offer rejuvenation. The guest bedroom continues the tranquil feel, with a neutral palette, organic textures and built-in storage. It is softly lit by natural light that pours in through the arched window. A sophisticated en suite serves the room, while an additional cloakroom sits off the entrance hallway.
