A fusion of rustic textures and vibrant colours, this two-bedroom residence blends a farmhouse aesthetic with fast-paced city living. Nestled between upscale Westbourne Grove and picturesque Hyde Park, West London’s prime locales are at your doorstep. From designer boutiques to sunlit boat rides, St Petersburgh Mews promises the best of both worlds.
Exposed timber beams, stable doors and a wooden pitch roof honour the home’s once humble origins as an early 20th century stable and carriage house. Updated with a built-in workshop, home office and spacious open-plan layout, today it offers seamless living and entertaining space.
Brushed plaster floors and poured concrete floors add a contemporary undercurrent in the open-plan kitchen and dining room, contrasting the array of reclaimed furniture. Centred around a huge wooden kitchen island, the space feels sociable and streamlined. Pull up a leather breakfast stool for morning coffees or host around the dining table; eclectic artwork and contemporary photography provide the talking points. Open the French doors to the terrace in warmer months for inside-out living.
Upstairs, the living room is a spectacle of colour, with a berry-toned palette offering an opulent yet uplifting feel. Light enters through west-facing windows – overlooking the roof terrace – onto a desk, making for a bright space for home working.
The principal bedroom is the pièce de resistance, stretching across the second floor to offer considerable living space and a walk-in wardrobe. A haven of minimalism, whitewashed walls and floors offer a calming atmosphere. Through an archway, the en suite bathroom features a freestanding tub, beautifully lit through Velux windows. A second bedroom is found on the first floor; an energising space with canary-yellow walls, served by a family bathroom.
A curated display of portraiture punctuates the considered décor on every floor, paying tribute to the visual arts and creating a thoroughly inspirational and uplifting setting. If you’re searching for a home that celebrates originality, this is it.
