Talbot Road, London, W2

Recently reimagined to exacting standards, this Talbot Road home is a masterclass in elegance. Opulent yet inviting, its interiors unfold across two impeccably designed floors, where a generous footprint is accentuated by a considered material palette.

Entering on the raised-ground floor, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and reception room makes an immediate impression. Here, underfloor-heated Ted Todd flooring meets bespoke cabinetry, tying each space together with cohesion. Contemporary influences shape the design, yet heritage echoes throughout – soaring ceilings, a statement fireplace, and newly installed double-glazed timber sash windows – pay homage to the home’s past.

Light cascades through the dual-aspect layout, illuminating the centrepiece of the space: a striking Italian marble kitchen. Integrated Miele appliances elevate the culinary experience, while the breakfast bar invites morning coffee or evening aperitifs. A discreet yet sophisticated storage room leads outside: one door opens to a decked terrace, the other to steps down to the south-facing garden.

On the lower floor, the home’s three bedrooms are tucked away, each designed with a sense of serenity. The principal suite’s pared-back aesthetic encourages complete relaxation, with a marble-clad en suite and a private patio. Two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom, where a marble bathtub and double vanity set an indulgent tone.
