Appartamento Flat, Bassett Road, Londra

Behind a striking redbrick façade with ornamental masonry, this head-turning home pairs pristine finishes with distinguished, contemporary design. The apartment unfolds across the first floor of an end-of-terrace townhouse. Drawing on original features, period charm converges with a modern aesthetic.

An entranceway dressed in blueberry tones opens into the generous reception and dining room. A south-facing bay window invites sunlight into the space to enliven considered details. A dark fireplace is flanked by bespoke joinery with mirrored glass. Concealed lighting hits a moody note. Above, ornate cornicing frames the ceiling white an orb chandelier crowns the space.

Hardwood chevron flooring flows into the kitchen, which features ocean-blue shaker-style cabinetry and stone worktops. Integrated appliances include a concealed fridge and a slimline wine cooler. This space also leads out to the home’s balcony which overlooks the leafy street below.

Dual sash windows illuminate the calming principal bedroom suite. Grounded by organic tones, the space is defined by a Jungle-themed feature wall. A bank of fitted wardrobes provides ample storage space. Its en suite bathroom enjoys brushed brass fittings and a walk-in rainfall shower.

A sense of stillness has been curated within the guest bedroom. A large sash window frames verdant views. Meanwhile, upholstered cabinetry, incorporating an integrated headboard, stretches over the bed space. This bedroom is served by a family bathroom with geometric wall tiles and a bathtub with an integrated rainfall shower.

Bassett Road is a quiet, tree-lined street a stone’s throw from the boutiques and brunch spots of Notting Hill. Start your day at Adriana’s Café & Eatery, moments from your doorstep, then head to Westbourne Grove for its fashion boutiques or Portobello Road for curated vintage items. Dine at upscale Indian restaurant Empire Empire and have a nightcap at the Pelican on the way home. Closer to home, Golborne Road is the home of antiques shops and independent eateries. Don’t miss Straker’s or Caia. At the weekend, absorb some culture at the Museum of Brands or stroll to Holland Park.
