Ifield Road

Designed by architects Steven Lenczner, this refined one-bedroom apartment for sale places contemporary accents against a period backdrop.

After shutting the door on the quiet street, a feeling of peace continues at Ifield Road. Inside, an archway elegantly frames the entrance to the living area and kitchen, a space where traditional and contemporary design fuse together.

In the open-plan kitchen and living room, period features dominate; an intricate ceiling rose and cornicing, traditional bead panelling and parquet floors infuse the room with characterful charm. Taj Mahal quartzite stone worktops and integrated Siemens appliances continue the interplay of old and new, while the bespoke oak kitchen cabinets and chevron engineered wooden floors ensure a timeless appeal. Gold heritage hardware complements the warm tones of the surrounding wood.

The focus in the living area is an impressive marble fireplace with a herringbone tiled firebox that’s in keeping with the room’s neutral hues. Cast-iron style radiators and air conditioning guarantee the perfect temperature for any season (controlled by a Nest thermostat), while newly double-glazed bay windows ensure the room is softly lit.

Organic textures and warm wood tones continue into the bedroom suite with tailored oak wardrobes featuring integrated wallpaper. A vanity wrapped in Calacatta altissimo marble and a walk-in rainfall shower are central to the en suite bathroom. Striking gold hardware continues in this room, which includes a traditional towel rail, as well as underfloor heating. Bauwerk limewash paint illuminates the additional WC, complete with a bespoke Emperador marble sink.
