2 bed Flat For Sale £1,200,000
St Lawrence Terrace, North Kensington, W10

Combining historic character with design-led interiors, this stylish duplex apartment is a thoughtful renovation of a heritage home. From the first-floor entrance, stairs lead to an open-plan kitchen and reception room. Punctuated by west-facing sash windows, sunlight illuminates clean lines, hardwood floors and neutral tones. Coving is painted the same hue of light grey as the walls, framing the ceiling. Black cast-iron radiators and cream skirting boards and window frames create subtle tonal contrast. A modern kitchen combines a recessed sink, integrated appliances and shelving with built-in spotlights. In the living area, an ornate fireplace surround is a focal point for the room.

The apartment is peppered with understated design choices. By the stairs, a vertical radiator is both a practical addition and a feature in itself. This area is lit by a sculptural LED chandelier hanging from a decorative ceiling rose – a small detail that typifies the classic-meets-contemporary styling of this considered home.

At the top of the plan, the principal bedroom is a symphony of light and symmetry. Dual-aspect Velux windows crafted into the vaulted ceiling create an uplifting atmosphere. Its en suite features a Crittall-style framed bath, backdropped by pale marble.

From the reception room, sliding doors reveal a guest bedroom. Brass wall lights draw the eye to elegant wainscoting and recall the striking brass tap in the kitchen. This floor also has a bathroom mirroring the principal en suite, a Crittall-framed shower adding an industrial edge.

St Lawrence Terrace is a leafy residential road a short walk from choice restaurants and shopping streets. In one direction, the bustling boutiques of Portobello Road. Catch a film at the Electric Cinema, have lunch at Gold then swing by 282 Portobello for vintage finds. In the other direction is bohemian Golborne Road. Local favourites include Golborne Deli, Lisboa Bakery and Pizza East. Ladbroke Grove Station is just a four-minute walk away, providing easy access to the city.
