Flat for sale in St Quintin Avenue, London W10

Set on a sought-after tree-lined street, this two-floor apartment is inviting inside and out. An inverted layout maximises the feeling of space, placing a generous communal living area at garden level. From the entrance hall, a sweeping metal staircase winds its way down to a bright and airy kitchen, reception and dining room, bookended by outside spaces. Immediately catching the eye, an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling Crittall glass frames views out to the sunny, southwest-facing garden. Walled for privacy, it features a lawn, patio and well-maintained flower beds.

Enjoy the outlook from the indoor seating area. Herringbone floors, bespoke cabinetry and muted colours create a calming backdrop for unwinding, complete with a contemporary glass-fronted fireplace. From here, three steps lead down to the kitchen. A large island and breakfast bar anchors the culinary setting, finished in bold inky tones. Tall cabinetry and integrated appliances keep the black stone and marble worksurfaces sleek and streamlined. There’s also space for a breakfast table – or take dining outside to the covered courtyard. Painted a vibrant terracotta shade with a terrazzo floor, there’s an escapist Mediterranean feel out here. Other unexpected but welcome features include a shower room with a wood-clad sauna and a convenient utility area.

All three bedrooms await on the floor above. The principal suite has a touch of opulence – think custom-made cabinetry, a walk-in wardrobe and a black-toned en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. Two guest suites follow the same pared-back but luxurious formula, with wooden herringbone floors and soft tones. One is brightened by a large bay window; both feature en suite bathrooms elevated with jewel-toned tiles.
