St Quintin Avenue

A five-bedroom semi-detached townhouse for sale that’s full of character and quirky design touches.

Set back from the road behind its own front garden, the bright red door of this Victorian townhouse hints at what’s to come. Inside, there’s a distinctly laid-back, bohemian feel across all four floors. Superbly proportioned living spaces are awash with colour and provide eye catching backdrops for family life.

The ground floor is the main hub of the home and dedicated to a double-aspect kitchen and reception room. Versatile enough for everyday demands but still elevated for entertaining, period features come to the fore. In the kitchen, decorative cornicing brings a flourish to the most functional of spaces. Among the high-spec culinary arsenal, a Lacanche range cooker will satisfy even the keenest of chefs. Blue-green tones contrast with white cabinetry and quartz worktops, creating an inviting and interesting setting. From here, French doors open onto a shaded garden full of leafy shrubs and established trees.

Towards the front of the home, the first of two reception rooms enjoys a sunny south-facing outlook through a large bay window. A lighter colour palette, custom-made cabinetry and a fireplace combine to create a calming yet cosy atmosphere. On the first floor, a second, family-orientated space has a more eclectic, playful style. Deep navy walls and statement glass baubles hanging from the ceiling provide a sense of fun. Also on this floor, you’ll find two bedrooms – both featuring bright colour schemes – and a family bathroom.

The standout principal suite is found on the second floor. An unexpected palette of pink walls and navy fitted wardrobes lends a soothing feel. The adjoining en suite is just as striking; red floorboards pop against white walls and marble surfaces, while a freestanding bathtub provides the centrepiece.

A spiral staircase leads to a fantastic third-floor media room. With vaulted ceilings and a large circular window, the space offers character and light in abundance.
