Flat for sale in Kelfield Gardens, London W10

On a quiet North Kensington street of red-brick houses, an understated exterior gives way to a home of impressive proportions and considered design. Reconfigured by the architects at Variant Office, a restrained aesthetic and wabi-sabi inspired influence ensues across its two floors.

Ascending to the first floor, a large open-plan kitchen and reception room forms an uplifting setting for evenings spent entertaining or hosting dinner parties. Crafted with a monochrome material palette, simplicity in design allows an interplay of light and texture to take priority. Dual-aspect fenestration floods light throughout, with a bay window to one side and a sash window to the other.

All clean lines and considered materials, the kitchen pairs oiled black Valchromat with smooth white surfaces. Integrated appliances and handleless cabinetry contribute to a seamless look, while an extended worktop allows for a spacious breakfast bar.

Arranged to the rear of the lower floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a calming feel courtesy of pristine white walls and ample natural light. Things take a dramatic design turn in the en suite bathroom, where sleek black tiles and gold-toned hardware embellish a walk-in rainfall shower. A hand-finished, black steel staircase guides the ascent to the upper floor, where two further bedrooms benefit from soothing, pared-back styling. A spacious family bathroom serves these bedrooms.
