Prince Edward Mansions, Moscow Road, London, W2

Within strolling distance of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, this towering period façade instantly makes a statement. Newly refurbished with interior creativity and thoughtful design details, Moscow Road is a captivating stage for west London living.  

On a quiet side road leading to Pembridge Square, sits a portered Edwardian mansion block. A prelude to the fine-tuned interior styling that unfolds throughout, peacock green wallpaper pairs with heritage proportions in an airy entrance hall. Dark oak floors – warmed by underfloor heating – sweep through to the dining and reception room. A bright and airy space ideal for entertaining, a tall bay window warms pale blush tones by Farrow & Ball. Expansive yet intimate, a cast-iron working gas fireplace backdrops space to settle down or socialise. A nook to the rear of the room is an ideal spot to set up as a study, bathed in light from an adjacent window.

A masterclass in timeless design, an open-plan kitchen by Charlie Smallbones’s Ledbury studios sits subtly separated. An arching window amplifies natural light across green quartzite counters and Siemens appliances, while gilded brass accents elevate light beige cabinetry. Glass pendant lights cast a soft glow across the breakfast bar, a calming spot to savour the surroundings.

A quiet haven, the principal bedroom suite comes with sophisticated built-in storage that keeps the room refined. Lit by a tall sash window, blush hues afford a calming quality. A retreat in its own right, the en suite Burlington bathroom comes entirely clad in white and grey veined marble, setting the stage for a walk-in rainfall shower.

Through to the guest bedroom, a landscape of flowering shrubs, butterflies and birds adorns bespoke built-in wardrobes. The pull-out bed is an internationally award-winning design from Prostoria, offering style and comfort in abundance. Pastel hues and dark floors create a considered contrast, while a fireplace provides an inviting focal feature. Its en suite bathroom bears a traditional look with green and white colours and Victorian floor tiles. Demonstrating Moscow Road’s commitment to beautiful design, there’s an additional WC which has been crafted with a heritage loo and Chinese wallpaper – plus, extra pieces of furniture are currently being added to the property.
