Blythe Road

Set on a bright corner plot in Brook Green, this former pub is brought to life as a three-bedroom duplex apartment with swathes of sunlight, cool tones and sleek integrated technology.

In the heart of Brook Green, positioned on a sunny corner of Blythe Road, this three-bedroom home exudes contemporary cool. Before an extensive renovation in 2018, this building was once a neighbourhood pub; today, the spacious architectural framework – including 4.5 metre-high ceilings on the ground floor – makes for an uplifting setting that honours its heritage as a social stomping ground.

A charcoal-black front door framed with Crittall-style windows makes a bold first impression – setting an aesthetic tone for the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room beyond. Pale walls and wood floors set a calming backdrop for the modish interior design: a marble-topped dining table, plush seating, an antique cabinet and rug, and a series of pendant lights with gold-toned interiors. There’s fantastic illumination throughout, thanks to the wrap around sash windows – accented with black shutters. In the kitchen, a central island offers plenty of preparation space and a relaxed spot for breakfast with three stylish stools. Behind, modern AEG appliances are neatly integrated into the cabinetry. With an HD 4K television and Sonos soundbar, it’s a setting tailor-made for socialising.

Three bedrooms are found on the lower-ground level, each crafted with a minimalist sensibility. Reams of natural light pour into the principal bedroom, courtesy of several sash windows that back onto an interior courtyard. There’s a dedicated dressing room and separate bathroom, featuring a dual vanity, inviting bathtub and oversized herringbone tiling. One of the additional bedrooms enjoys an en suite shower room, while the other – currently configured as an office – offers versatility to be used for sleeping, exercise and additional storage.
