Terraced house for sale in Stanford Road, Kensington, London W8

Behind its unassuming contemporary façade, this two-bedroom home is a setting elevated with swathes of sunlight and a calming interior palette. Beyond the double front door, an arched entrance leads into the kitchen – a streamlined space united by monochromatic tones. Skylights are set into a ceiling vault, illuminating the glossy black worktops and whitewashed cabinets. From here, warm parquet floors lead down a set of steps into the spacious reception room, thoughtfully-zoned between dining and living areas. Furnishings are understated yet considered, with pale walls lending attention to vintage prints. A rear extension – conceived as a glass box – is a light-filled setting for a teal tuxedo sofa.

The eye is drawn to the sculptural staircase that ascends through a double-height void, affording the space an uplifting sense of volume. From the carpeted treads, step through French doors onto the private balcony. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are soothing environments in which to press pause – complete with muted tones and plenty of storage. Serving these spaces, a bathroom is wrapped in striking marble tiles, accentuated by the ceiling skylight. Completing the home, a garage can be accessed from the ground floor.
