Lower Addison Gardens

Interior design virtuoso Salvesen Graham has reimagined this four-storey period home, filling its spacious interiors with innovative style and flair.

A large steel-framed Crittall wall sets the tone as you enter the ground floor and walk into the sweeping open-plan reception room and dining area. The space is bright and voluminous, thanks to its high ceilings and ample windows; note the way the skylight illuminates the formal dining table that looks on to the private garden. It’s a home with rich design credentials; Lindsey Adelman chandelier, a Knots rug and curved Rolf Benz sofa. A pocket door to the study offers flexible functionality: leave it open to magnify the sense of space, with natural light emanating from the south-facing bay windows, or keep it shut to create a peaceful home office.

There is well-considered, discreet technology throughout the home, such as a Sonos speakers and a clean air filter system. Alongside the breakfast bar, the kitchen exemplifies modern sophistication. Its smooth concrete surfaces, handle-free cabinetry and integrated appliances create a sleek, 21st century intuitiveness. Dual-aspect windows offer leafy views and double doors open onto a decked terrace with a barbecue. From here, descend the stairs to a private landscaped garden. Upstairs, each bedroom expresses individual flair and comfort. Period cornicing overlooks Luke Irvin rugs; traditional lofty proportions are accentuated with pops of colour and patterned wallpaper.

Fitted joinery runs throughout the bedrooms, lending a stylish practicality to the spaces. Unexpected features like the children’s climbing wall are a testament to its considered design. The bathrooms showcase sleek white tiles, glossy storage and bright geometric flooring. The master enjoys a private dressing room and en-suite, featuring a dual vanity, large bathtub and walk-in shower.
