Victorian Villa, West London

A detached Victorian villa with a basement office, wine cellar, utility room; kitchen-diner leading to the garden, sitting room and WC on the ground floor, with five bedrooms (two en-suite), family bathroom and a reading room on the upper levels.

The designer and property developer owners of this London abode, wanted to create a home that maximised space and light, with a separate office space for their business in the basement.

The beautiful, period façade is virtually all that remains of the original structure. The roof, floors and internal walls were removed in order to reconfigure the space.

On the ground floor the staircase was relocated to the middle of the house, creating an elegant hallway and enabling an easy flow between the cosy sitting room at the front and the spectacular kitchen-diner-family room at the rear. A Velux window at the top of the stairwell allows light to flood through the floors.

A dated rear extension was demolished and rebuilt, and a huge windowpane and glass sliding door installed, resulting in space, symmetry and seamless fluidity with the garden.

:

Four zones were subtly established through beautiful bespoke kitchen cabinetry, a timber-clad island, mid-century dining furniture, and a stylish vintage Roche Bobois corner sofa upholstered in Chanel boucle fabric.

Although the finishes, which include metal mosaics and embossed porcelain floor tiles are luxurious, the feel is relaxed and welcoming.

:

The sitting room is cosy yet sophisticated, with a clever lighting scheme and sumptuous finishes, such as polished plaster walls and a mohair rug. A glass panel in the wall ensures the room has plenty of natural light.

All doors, skirting, panelling and joinery are bespoke designed by HUX London so the space has continual flow.

On the first floor, in the master bedroom, a feature wall reveals bespoke floor-ceiling wardrobes, while double doors open onto a large, luxurious en-suite, where bay windows beautifully frame a freestanding oval bath for a spa-like feel.

In both the master bedroom and guest bedroom a calm, neutral backdrop designed with soft shades and subtle textures is invigorated with splashes of bold colour through art and accessories.

:
:

The guest en-suite features a walk-in shower, with marble tiles and a dramatic textured wall offering a luxury hotel aesthetic.

On the second floor, in the children’s bedrooms, there’s a fresh Scandinavian feel, with pale, neutral palettes, pretty designer wallpapers and carefully sourced vintage pieces. Bespoke wardrobes utilise the sloped ceiling space in these charming rooms.
