From the moment you enter this lovely home you'll be enveloped by a warm welcome, whilst the breathtaking interiors creates such a blissful bubble of luxury that you'll not want to leave. The interior designer owner (whose shop is next door) has created an incredible, peaceful homestay for four in a thoughtfully renovated Georgian town house which offers the most contemporary comforts whilst also celebrating the plethora of original features that makes this a truly unique retreat.
Living, eating and dining
Take the stairs from the front door and you'll find yourself in the gorgeous Georgian living space with warm wooden flooring throughout, huge sash windows and breath-taking original features making it a stylish, luxurious space in which to relax. To the front lies the wonderful sitting room with two pretty duck-egg blue sofas, a wonderfully aged leather occasional chair and the fabulous original marble fireplace. With incredible artwork, stunning lighting and fabulous wooden doors that can be shut to separate you from the dining room and kitchen, this is a perfect room for coming together in at the end of the day.
The stylish galley kitchen lies to the back, with wonderful white worksurfaces, dark blue cupboards, lovely tiled floor and impressive exposed stone wall, adding touches of character throughout the space. As well as being beautiful it's also brim-full of all the equipment you'll need to create feasts for your loved ones, as well as pretty kitchenware, tableware and the all-important coffee machine.
In between the kitchen and sitting room lies the dining room with a lovely table that easily seats eight, fabulous, exposed brick wall and a lovely leather occasional chair - perfect for curling up on with a book.
