House For Sale £2,695,000
Open the front door to this immaculate Victorian terrace and its bright colour palette immediately catches the eye. Reimagined by interior design studio Barlow & Barlow, it offers a playful spin on a period blueprint. Coral tones accent the walls, stairs, skirting boards and door frames in the hallway – a fitting introduction to a home that’s not afraid to make a statement. Original floor tiles lead the way through to the ground floor’s communal spaces – note the sightline that stretches to the garden.
With its south-facing aspect, the formal reception room has a sunny outlook. Alcoves have been repurposed as a pair of workstations, flanking the canary-yellow fireplace – a pop of vibrancy in an otherwise white room. The expansive kitchen and dining space is similarly considered – expect a generous, open-plan footprint envisaged for family life and entertaining.
The hub of the home, a sloping glass ceiling and bi-folding doors flood the room with light. Anchored by a pink marble-topped island, rows of bespoke turquoise-green cabinets and tiles add an uplifting splash of colour. Reeded glass lends a stylish finish, while integrated appliances, including an oversized induction hob and wine fridge, ensure all practicalities are taken care of.
There’s ample room for a large dining table and sofas, making this a natural space to congregate in. Integrated shelving frames the entrance to an internal playroom, which could also be used as study; a glass wall invites light inside and keeps the area connected to the action. Beyond, the auto-irrigated garden is divided between decking and a lawn, backdropped by a wall of bamboo and decorated with festoon lighting.
Bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors. Eclectic features inject personality into the principal suite. Custom-made wardrobes are painted pink and finished with leopard print cloth, while a pair of reclaimed French doors slide open to reveal an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are found on the first floor, along with a family bathroom complete with bright, mustard-yellow tiles and handmade Bert & May brass fittings. On the second floor, there’s another bedroom suite. Ideal for visiting guests, it features a en suite bathroom and convenient under-eaves storage.
Sat on a quiet, no-through street between Kensal Rise and Queen’s Park, Keslake Road is found in one of London’s most community-minded neighbourhoods. Start the day with a coffee at Cable Co., before taking a stroll around leafy Queen’s Park – the weekend Farmer’s Market will be your go-to for seasonal produce. Just around the corner is Chamberlayne Road, once named London’s ‘hippest street’ by Vogue. Check out local favourites Brooks for fresh meat and fish, Parlour for brunch, and Sacre Cuore for the best pizza around. Make The Chamberlayne your local, or spend evenings at The Lexi, a much-loved independent cinema.
