Holland House Hall, Wilsham Street, London, W11

Masterfully reformed from its former usage as a church hall, this sprawling family home makes a memorable impression.

Step inside to a palatial reception room, where the eye is drawn up to a soaring vaulted ceiling. Pared-back tones lend attention to an impressive backdrop, simultaneously allowing vibrant details – amethyst sofas and pop-art prints – to do the talking. The generous footprint allows for multiple uses; host formal dinners or assemble around the fireplace. Above, a mezzanine level study makes for a private setting to work from home.

Separating the lower floor’s social spaces, a trio of double glass doors connect the standout kitchen and dining room. Bespoke details make this a space that stands out; marbled counters top navy cabinetry that echoes the inky coloured wall panelling. A wall of glazing floods the room with light and leads out to the landscaped garden. Thoughtfully divided, one side hosts a patio with a chimenea, while steps lead past a lawn to built-in bench seating.

Upstairs, design decisions take a calmer approach in the principal bedroom suite, where three sash windows draw light across regal details. Make the most of three dedicated dressing rooms, plus an en suite bathroom with a roll top bathtub. A guest bedroom suite sits on the ground floor, while three further bedrooms can be found at the top of the home.

Offering versatility for larger families, a self-contained space offers two further bedrooms, plus a kitchen and reception room that opens to an additional garden.

Location

A peaceful retreat from the City in Holland Park. Wander down to Holland Park Ave to grab sweet treats at Buns From Home, then head to Kyoto Garden – a tranquil Japanese garden with a pond and waterfall. Take a break from strolling in Belvedere Restaurant. Westfield London or High Street Kensington are best for retail therapy, or stock up shelves at Bens Grocers. On weekends, explore stalls and vintage treasure at Portobello Market or catch a film at the Electric Cinema.
