Pembridge Gardens, London, W2

On the second floor of a period conversion, enter the large reception room at Pembridge Gardens – a calming, considered space perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. Calling to mind the home’s heritage, cornicing surrounds the high ceiling while an Etoile marble fireplace surround provides a focal point. A dramatic orange glass chandelier hangs in the centre, injecting warmth into the neutral toned space. Opposite the large sash window, custom-made shelves serve as both a display unit and a means of storage – ideal framing for a dining table.

The same Ted Todd bleached parquet flooring found in the reception room flows downstairs to a large and bright kitchen. Designed and built by the London Kitchen Consultants, marble splashbacks throughout are paired with wooden cabinets painted an off-white. The angled walls and slight tilt of the ceiling add an edge to the space. Appliances are fully integrated and sit alongside striking deVOL taps.

All three bedrooms occupy one end of the home. The principal suite is neutral in tone and elegant in style. A large built-in wardrobe offers ample storage, ornamented with a subtle geometric pattern on its doors. Retaining a sense of calm, the en suite bathroom is painted in the neutral toned Stone III by Paint & Paper Library. Designed by Porter Bathrooms, bronze brassware and marble add to the opulent feel, complete with a dual vanity unit. Two further guest bedrooms share a large family bathroom, also by Porter Bathrooms – this time painted in Kigali, a deep, rich blue.

Pembridge Gardens is only a stone’s throw from Bayswater Road, giving you access to all the everyday amenities you could need. Only a two-minute walk from the Tube, transport connections couldn’t be better either. Start the morning with a coffee at Kuro bakery, followed by a stroll around Kensington Gardens in one direction, or Holland Park in the other. Come evening, take your pick from one of the many neighbourhood favourite restaurants and bars on the doorstep, from Dorian and Gold, to The Pelican.
