Clanricarde Gardens

Found in a quintessential period townhouse on a quiet street, this light-filled two-bedroom apartment is both a stepping stone to the city and a calming place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Immaculately presented, it pairs classic features with contemporary comforts and offers the space to tune in or out.

Set on the raised ground floor, the open-plan kitchen and reception room is configured for socialising. A marble fireplace, wainscoting and a three-and-a-half metre high ceiling adorned with cornicing lend an impressive backdrop for gatherings around the six-seater dining table. At the other end of the room, the striking kitchen caters for every type of cook and host. A waterfall marble island doubles as a breakfast bar – pull up a stool to watch chefs at work, mix a drink or linger over your morning coffee. 

Also on this floor, there’s a guest bedroom with a peaceful persuasion. Soothing hues and sumptuous soft furnishing set the tone, while a row of fitted wardrobes brings a sense of order. A considered palette of materials continues into the principal bedroom suite below where a large skylight infuses the space with a warm glow. A sleek oak bedframe with a tangerine velvet-upholstered headboard adds a pop of colour. To catch the last of the evening rays, step out onto the secluded patio, accessed from this floor. The ultimate luxury, the adjoining en suite bathroom features a bathtub and dual vanity. One further bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower with deep blue tiles and a sophisticated finish.
