St Charles Square

A design-led two-bedroom apartment in North Kensington. Cooling tones and open-plan living spaces provide a contemporary update to this home’s heritage framework.

Set within a Victorian villa on a sought-after road of elegant façades, a stylish apartment maximises light and space. Accessed via a private entrance, the whitewashed hallway expands into a generous open-plan living space.

Two large windows illuminate understated design details. A modern kitchen stretches along one wall, with integrated appliances and pared-back cabinetry producing clean lines and a minimalistic look. Light wood flooring flows to the other side of the room where a feature fireplace grounds the space. Expansive glazing frames views of the private terrace beyond, which provides access to a tranquil southeast-facing decked garden. Shared with neighbours, this tropical space is bordered by bamboo and tropical plants. 

Embracing its period footprint, a generous bay window pours daylight into the home’s principal bedroom. A sand-toned carpet pairs with elegant cornicing while an en suite bathroom features chrome fittings and a walk-in rainfall shower. The calming palette flows into the guest bedroom which enjoys a two-tone bathroom with oversized tiles which cascade across the wall, floor and bathtub.
