St Petersburgh Place

Considered and calm across every level. In this six-bedroom Bayswater home, a refined interplay of period elegance and neutral design makes for a sophisticated family setting.

Positioned back from the street and past cast-iron gates, the striking redbrick façades of St Petersburgh Place are revealed. Set beneath a smart portico frame, the magenta-toned front door of this six-bedroom family home makes a bold first impression. The entrance hall sets an atmosphere of calm, introduced through glass-panelled double doors. Pale walls and wood floors are brightly illuminated through the glazing, while a doorway leads into the reception room. Tranquility ensues in this social setting, with pared-back walls and floors, a refined marble fireplace and a trio of sash windows that gaze out onto the private garden.

Head downstairs to the kitchen, where pale herringbone floors are met with an array of sleek design choices: a bold orange Range oven sits between pale cabinets; the splashback is crafted from multicoloured tiles; Miele appliances are neatly integrated; and a separate butler sink affords plenty of space for culinary creativity. At the rear, double doors lead into a separate utility room. At the other end, floor-to-ceiling French doors open onto the private patio garden, where whitewashed brick walls are covered in leafy greenery – affording a real sense of privacy to the al fresco scene.

Six bedrooms are spread across the home’s upper levels, each showcasing handsome period cornicing and sash windows, plus ample storage throughout. These rooms provide restful enclaves for the whole family, with versatility to be used as studies, studio spaces or a home gym.
