Abbotsbury Road

A refined rethink of the classic townhouse, this four-bedroom Holland Park home pairs a red-brick façade with tactile interiors by Feilden Fowles.

On the outside, Abbotsbury Road is all traditional charm: red brickwork, a portico entrance and a tree-lined street in one of Holland Park’s most desirable postcodes. But beyond the private driveway, the scene shifts. Inside, Fielden Fowles’ architectural interventions bring a purposeful energy – grounding the home in natural light, sculptural form and materiality with flair.

In the hallway, wood-fronted joinery gives function an elegant edge. A wall of storage runs one side; the other opens to a bright reception room where near full-height windows pull in light. Further along, a dedicated office space offers quiet retreat. With a built-in desk, open joinery and Crittall glazing, it’s designed for focused days and leafy views.

Anchoring the home, a spiral staircase in a cement-render sweeps dramatically down to the lower ground floor. Here, space and volume take centre stage. A double-height void overhead brings architectural drama, while polished concrete floors and lime washed walls set a subdued tone. The kitchen is minimalist but warm – a balance of wood cabinetry, honed stone counters and integrated appliances – anchored by a central island. It’s a place to cook, gather and entertain. A skylight and full-height Crittall glazing blur the lines between inside and out, leading to a landscaped garden split across two levels. Beyond the patio and lush planting, a multifunctional garden studio is primed for creative work or weekend downtime.

Upstairs, the principal suite takes over the first floor. A soft, sage palette, Juliet balconies and generous light create a tranquil atmosphere. Across the landing, a walk-in wardrobe leads to a striking en suite bathroom – all freestanding bath, rainfall shower and marble.

The top floor is home to three further bedrooms: one wrapped in a bold navy tone, two in airy neutrals. A sleek family bathroom with monochrome tiling and a separate bath and shower serves this floor.
