Chevening Road

A Victorian villa redrawn with contemporary imagination. With an abundance of natural light, this three-bedroom duplex apartment paints a soothing scene.

Behind a handsome red-brick façade, this three-bedroom duplex enhances its period framework with expertly-crafted interiors and a welcoming character. Ascend to the open-plan kitchen and reception room, designed with socialising in mind. Courtesy of its first-floor positioning, the room is filled with sunlight through dual-aspect fenestration. Situated by a bay window, the living area has a relaxed atmosphere with large tuxedo sofas in a pale grey hue. The eye is drawn to a marble feature fireplace, symmetrically-framed by integrated bookcases. Blonde wood floors lead through an archway into the shaker-style kitchen and dining space. Balancing form and function, Terrazzo marble worktops and charcoal-toned cabinets wraparound in an L-shape and frame a rangemaster oven.

A minimalist setting with swathes of sunlight, the principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor. Its hushed palette is illuminated through a series of sash and Velux windows, with wardrobes neatly engineered into the vaulted walls. Its en suite bathroom uplifts as it soothes, with teal walls offset by whitewashed metro tiling. Continuing the pared-back tones and calming quality, two guests bedrooms are situated downstairs. A family-sized bathroom, wrapped in smooth marble, serves these spaces.
