Set on the quiet crescent of Philbeach Gardens, this award-nominated house extends to over 205 square metres and has been comprehensively re-imagined, with period architecture and contemporary design each given their proper place.

The principal reception room at the front retains its original bay windows and restored detailing beneath notably tall ceilings, while the centre of the house opens into a triple aspect kitchen, dining and living space. Expansive glazing connects it to a landscaped private terrace, with a walk-in pantry and separate laundry room keeping the working parts of the household out of view. Beyond the terrace, a detached garden studio suits an office, gym or guest space equally well.

The lower ground floor is given entirely to the bedrooms. The principal suite includes bespoke wardrobes, a window seat over the front garden and a zoned marble bathroom with freestanding bath, double vanity and walk-in shower. Two further doubles follow, one with a dressing area, the other with an en suite, alongside a study area and a secluded light-well courtyard.

Earl's Court station is moments away, with residents' permit parking on the street. A house arranged for real life, on one of the area's most settled crescents.
