Oakwood Court

Sophisticated lateral living and a sought-after setting. This two-bedroom apartment for sale updates its timeless framework with inspiring design.

On the leafy borders of Holland Park, Oakwood Court’s towering red-brick mansion block makes an imposing first impression. Ascending to the second floor, an abundance of natural light fills this lateral home with an uplifting ambiance.

A design-led backdrop for evenings in or entertaining, a spacious reception room feels curated from every angle. Taking centre stage, an ornate cast-iron fireplace is framed with floor-to-ceiling black cabinets. An intricate coffered ceiling draws attention to the period proportions, flooded with light from a generous bay window. A glass door leads from here to an intimate outdoor area – a small balcony for a breath of fresh air. In a considered separate kitchen, inky tones feature throughout shaker cabinets and antique-style floor tiles. A sash window casts light across curved banquette seating – a relaxed spot to lounge or dine.

Soothing in its simplicity, the principal bedroom effortlessly calms with a subdued palette of neutral tones. Adding touches of character – a small cast-iron fireplace, cornicing and an original-style column radiator. Muted hues continue into the en suite, where beige metro tiles wrap around a walk-in shower.

Pops of colour enliven the second bedroom, fitted with a black and blue tiled fireplace, plus sleek integrated storage. A large family bathroom – complete with a bathtub and shower – serves this bedroom.
