Rich Interiors and Historic Character in a Kensington Townhouse
Step through the front door of this three-bedroom townhouse, and you’re immediately transported into a home where time-honored design meets everyday comfort.
Behind its elegant stucco façade lies a thoughtfully curated interior that embraces its heritage, weaving antique details with a warm, lived-in atmosphere.
We are starting the tour on the first floor, where a richly decorated reception room invites relaxation, where ochre tones contrast beautifully with blue-and-white fireplace tiles.
Built-in bookshelves line the walls, creating a library-like atmosphere, while traditional wainscoting enhances the sense of depth and history.
Adjacent, a study provides a tranquil workspace. When the light is right, doors open onto a generous decked terrace
The eat-in kitchen on the ground floor forms the heart of the home. Anchored by a striking range cooker set into the chimney breast, the space balances practicality with period character.
Dark wooden floors run underfoot, complemented by paneled walls and rich, mahogany-toned worktops. Along one wall, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides generous storage, keeping the room as functional as it is inviting.
The classic rangemaster is paired with terracotta tiles as the backsplash and on the floor.
At the top of the house, the principal bedroom enjoys complete privacy, occupying its own dedicated floor.
An antique cupboard cleverly conceals a wash station, complete with an intricately patterned ceramic sink and baroque-style wallpaper.
The room features an in-room bathroom that feels both indulgent and distinctive. A rare wooden bathtub, paired with reclaimed brass mixer taps, takes center stage.
On the ground floor, two single guest bedrooms offer charming and restful retreats. Each room has its own personality, styled with ornate wallpaper and soft hues (one in lilac, the other in sage).
Built-in beds maximize space, while barn-style doors lend a subtle country cottage feel. These rooms share a shower and cloakroom, and one opens onto a private southeast-facing courtyard
The house is listed for rent on Domus Nova.
