Oxford Gardens W10

Natural light, tactile materials and stylish interiors are the order of the day in this four-bedroom North Kensington family home.

Los Jardines de Oxford, que son el escenario de esta ecléctica casa familiar, son ladrillos rojos con fachada de bahía, aceras arboladas y una comunidad residencial acogedora. En el interior, la planta baja se ha diseñado pensando en la vida familiar. Las habitaciones son grandes, luminosas y están inteligentemente interconectadas. Apartada de la calle por un jardín delantero, la doble recepción equilibra las proporciones de la época con un estilo lúdico. Piensa en estanterías azules de Yves Klein alrededor de una chimenea antigua.

From here, a skylit side return opens up to the kitchen and dining room. There’s an inside-out quality to the space, where man-made textures – industrial columns, a wide kitchen range and stainless-steel countertops – are brought down to earth by muted tones and exposed brickwork. A glass-box extension creates a seamless transition to the patio garden. Remote workers take note: the shed makes a great office space.

Upstairs, integrated storage, pastel hues and feature fireplaces keep bedrooms laid back and charming. Looking out to the front of the house, the master suite enjoys a private shower room. Two further bedrooms – one with its own cloakroom – share an understated yet stylish family bathroom with twin vanities and an inviting roll-top tub. A glass-roofed stairway rises to the second floor, where a bright, south-facing bedroom and en suite shower are ideal for overnight guests or young adults who want space to call their own. A terrific family home.
