Durham Terrace, London, W2

Set between Alexander Street and Westbourne Gardens, this Durham Terrace maisonette sits within an imposing brick terrace and porticoed façade. A private entrance sets the tone inside, where lofty ceilings and generous proportions lend a sense of scale throughout.

The open-plan reception room and kitchen form the social heart of the home. Wooden floors run beneath tall ceilings, while huge windows draw in an abundance of natural light. A Victorian fireplace anchors the living area alongside a large grey sofa, a vibrant armchair and a cast iron radiator. A Harland Miller Armageddon print adds a bold visual note.

In the kitchen, white handleless cabinetry and integrated appliances create a clean backdrop for entertaining. A dining table for four sits beneath a glass bubble pendant, while David Shrigley artwork injects character. Expansive glazing frames views of the garden, with a door providing direct access outside.

The lower ground level is dedicated to the bedrooms, where pale grey walls, plush carpets and neutral furnishings create calm, light-filled spaces. The principal bedroom features an en suite bathroom finished in grey subway tiles, complete with a rainfall shower and floating basin. The sleeping space opens onto a private patio. A second bedroom mirrors the same considered design and is served by a family shower room.
