Thereâs a distinctive charm to this five-bedroom North Kensington home â a setting that sings of creativity. Spread across four floors: Colour, eclectic textures and natural materials brought into characterful conversation by architect Prudence de Wynter and interior designer Emma Archer.
The ground floor opens with an easy, intuitive flow. Pale peach walls soften a generous open-plan dining and reception room, shifting from the calm of a bay-fronted lounge to the warmth of a garden-facing dining space. Wooden floors pull the two zones together, while full-height glazing leads towards a decked terrace and the lawn beyond.
The kitchen at the rear sets its own rhythm, custom crafted by PaperStone. Sunny cabinetry pairs with Zellige-style tiles and terrazzo worktops, while appliances â from a Miele oven and microwave to a Gaggenau cooker â promise capability without the visual noise. A glazed wall opens directly onto the terrace, an inviting spot to survey the green lawn beyond.
Social spaces continue on the lower ground level, where an additional reception room feels unexpectedly bright thanks to four glazed doors linking a lightwell courtyard. Adjacent, a versatile room works well as a home office, complete with its own petite outdoor nook â just enough space for a breath of fresh air or an afternoon coffee.
Upstairs, the principal suite brings navy and cream notes together with crisp precision. Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes frame the window, while the en suite pairs microcement flooring with teal tiles around a walk-in rainfall shower and bathtub. A second bedroom on this floor brings together Schumacher wallpaper, fitted wardrobes and a broad bay window. Between the two rooms, a dedicated dressing room is lined with bespoke rattan-fronted cabinetry.
The uppermost floor hosts two further bedroom suites, each with a calming palette and private bathroom. A fifth bedroom is tucked onto the lower ground level, complete with a dressing space and an en suite shower room â ideal for guests or older children.
