Milson Road W14

Traditional and contemporary harmonise in this tranquil two-bedroom Brook Green apartment.

Step inside this Victorian two-bedroom apartment, with its smart battleship-grey exterior, and you find yourself in a light-filled, generously proportioned reception room featuring high ceilings, classic period coving and beautifully restored parquet flooring. Throughout, the apartment marries traditional architecture and contemporary styling, and offers a sense of calm thanks to its pared-back colour palette and subtle use of textures and materials. It has been designed to maximise storage, and the sleek high-spec kitchen has Gaggeneau appliances and full-height built-in cupboards. The blend of practicality and styling continues in the bathroom, with its spa-like simplicity.

The master bedroom features parquet flooring and an entire wall devoted to storage. The sense of tranquillity is enhanced by French windows leading to a sheltered terrace which can also be accessed from the kitchen. The reception room features a cleverly designed bookcase that opens to reveal a staircase leading down to a spacious further bedroom, where storage is again king. This is currently a stylish children’s room, but could equally be adapted as an office space or a home gym.
