Poplar Grove

This newly-refurbished five-bedroom home for sale sits in the heart of Brook Green.

Cool tones, tactile materials and an abundance of natural light makes a feature of Poplar Grove’s heritage framework. The home’s handsome profile is characterised by a red brick façade with volute columns, set on a quiet and leafy residential road. Inside, classic period features are enlivened with striking contemporary interventions, rendering a stimulating five-bedroom family home.

The double reception room makes a dramatic first impression, with its impressive ceiling heights accentuated by intricate cornicing and modern chandeliers. Two antique stone fireplaces by Renaissance afford a natural feel to each side of the space, further emphasised by the sweeping dark oak floors. Sunlight is channelled through bay windows, whilst picture windows have been cleverly installed in the rear wall to provide dual-aspect lighting and a sense of flow to the kitchen beyond.

A restrained colour palette lets natural light do the talking: neatly engineered skylights and full-height glazing create a spacious atmosphere that seamlessly links to the outside. A large island complete with an integrated stove and bottle fridge centres the Poliform kitchen, surrounded by rows of glossy pebble-toned cabinets. It’s a setting made for year-round entertaining, complete with air conditioning and underfloor heating. Slide back the full-height glass windows to the private south-facing garden, zoned between a patio and lawn. Back inside, a second reception space can be found on the basement level – currently used as a cosy television room.

The home’s modish material palette ensues in the principal bedroom suite. Large bay windows and a ceiling rose hark to the property’s period heritage, whilst a granite grey partition wall paints a thoroughly modern picture – behind which lies a dedicated dressing area and wardrobe space. Dark timber flooring switches to geometric tiles of the Italian Agape bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and dual vanity. Also on this floor, a brightly-lit study is a quiet spot for home working. 

Four guest bedrooms across the second and third floors have been affectionately finished with individual colours and wallpapers. Serving these rooms is a striking bathroom, where dark navy walls are offset by pale grey metro tiles that wrap around the shower.
