Flat for sale in Cleveland Square, Bayswater, London W2

A single terrace of period homes looks over the manicured lawns of Cleveland Square. Typifying this style of early Victorian architecture, a voluminous duplex draws together classic materials, poised interventions and an abundance of natural light.

Complete with a pillared porch, a stucco façade makes for an apt welcome. The shared entranceway leads up to a generous semi-private landing. Double doors reveal a striking home with four-metre ceilings.

A dark fireplace grounds the voluminous reception room. Above, the ceiling is framed by an oversized frieze. An intricate ceiling rose and a sculptural orb chandelier crown the living space. Throughout the home, soaring French doors frame verdant views and open onto compact balconies with stone balustrades. The reception room features enviable views over the greenery of Cleveland Square.

Hardwood flooring flows into the eat-in kitchen. A vast window frames leafy views while intricate cornicing and Corinthian columns create a sense of opulence. Shaker cabinetry, stone worktops and an American-style fridge characterise this space.

A powder-blue staircase makes for a playful accent and leads up the bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite enjoys neutral tones and a wall of bespoke joinery. South-facing French doors trace the arc of the sun, imbuing the space with an uplifting atmosphere. A stylish en suite bathroom features brass fixtures and a frameless walk-in shower.

Two further bedrooms benefit from high ceilings, French doors and fitted storage. A family bathroom combines oversized tiles, a bathtub and a walk-in rainfall shower. At the top of the home, an alcove space provides a small study or storage area.
