Millwood Street

Period detailing meets modern living in this two-bedroom Victorian maisonette for sale, complete with bespoke joinery, oak floors and a south-facing terrace.

Just moments from the bustle of Portobello Road, Millwood Street offers a quieter rhythm – a sense of retreat wrapped in a characterful Victorian terrace. Arranged across three floors behind a striking, blue-painted façade, this heritage maisonette balances period charm with thoughtful finishes.

A private front door leads directly from street level into the home. Up the staircase, the first-floor kitchen and living area unfold: a convivial space framed by southeast-facing windows. The kitchen blends farmhouse notes with refined modern living – Shaker-style cabinetry in soft tones, antique brass hardware, wide-stave oak countertops and a butler’s sink, complemented by integrated appliances.

Oak floorboards guide the eye through to the dining and living area. Here, bespoke joinery maximises storage, with space for a television or a home bar, and sash windows fitted with Jim Lawrence latches usher in natural light. Cast-iron radiators painted in Farrow & Ball’s School House White complete the scene.

Ascending the sky-lit stairs to the second floor, the guest bedroom is calm and considered, with integrated storage, cast-iron radiators and southeast-facing windows. The home’s bathroom shares this floor and features a shower adorned with artisan porcelain tiles, a towel rail and hidden storage.

The top floor is dedicated to the principal suite – a sanctuary beneath lofty ceilings, where pale tones and timber floors set a calm backdrop. A roll-top bath anchors the space, embracing an open-plan bedroom-bathroom concept with a spa-like sensibility.

The home’s pièce de résistance – a south-facing roof terrace is accessed via a glass door – an al fresco space set above the hustle, perfect for morning coffees and evening sundowners.
