St Lukes Road

A quintessentially English home, with interiors characteristic of the traditional Victorian style.

Situated on the end of a row of terraces, this four-storey townhouse has undeniable personality and grandeur. An airy entrance hall leads to an impressive double reception room, which occupies the entire ground floor.

A floor-to-ceiling bookcase makes the most of the room’s classic proportions, and a large rolled-arm sofa and two marble fireplaces create a cosy atmosphere. At the front of the room, soft afternoon light enters through south-west-facing bay windows; at the back, two French windows open out to a balcony which overlooks the garden.Head downstairs to the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and utility area; perfect for entertaining. Crittal doors open onto a patio with outdoor seating and paving gives way to a garden of birch and hornbeam trees.

There is a wealth of artwork to explore – find a set of framed letters from the likes of Germaine Greer, Dirk Borgarde and Harold Acton in the ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom embodies the charm of an English country home. The muted pink walls, dark wood furniture and chintz fabrics are as inviting as they are elegant. Its en suite bathroom features a dual vanity and at its centre, a free-standing bath. Another flight of stairs leads to two bedrooms and a further bathroom, with patterned curtains and marble fireplaces.
