William Morris Wallpaper in a Cozy Georgian Attic Apartment
Set within landscaped grounds on the outskirts of Tonbridge in Kent, this three-bedroom apartment occupies the top floor of a Georgian manor house.
The apartment’s interiors combine generous period proportions and cozy slanted ceilings with natural colors and floral wallpapers, drawing on the gardens and countryside visible through the windows.
The living room is a spacious and bright room with a south-facing window overlooking the communal grounds.
White walls and ceiling are paired with the yellow and green “Fruit” wallpaper by William Morris.
The soft carpet underground is topped with a red-toned rug, adding warmth and color.
A glass door leads to the spacious kitchen and dining room on one side of the living room.
In the kitchen, emerald green cabinets are paired with white marble-effect worktops and a Belfast sink. Brass fittings add a warm glow to the space, while the window offers far-reaching views across the valley and surrounding countryside.
Integrated appliances ensure modern comfort, while the glass-fronted upper cabinets and mug rail add a cozy cottage vibe.
The floral theme continues in the master bedroom, where a delicate red-toned tulip wallpaper introduces a warm color accent to one wall.
The “Compton” wallpaper by William Morris adds a romantic touch to the room.
The smallest bedroom is situated on the other side of the living room. It is decorated with the Willow wallpaper by William Morris and used as a charming home office with an antique desk under the window.
The third bedroom also features the Willow wallpaper and matching pillows.
In the bathroom, a freestanding clawfoot bath stands against dark wall tiles, a style matching the apartment’s historic architecture.
Two large windows bring in plenty of natural light and offer views of the leafy surroundings. Via the bathroom, you can also access a storage room under the slanted ceiling.
Mature trees, established planting and broad lawns frame the house, giving residents a generous shared setting to enjoy. A communal garden at the rear includes outdoor seating and dining areas.
The manor house dates to 1813 and is an early work by Robert William Jearrad, the architect known for his contribution to Cheltenham’s Regency architecture alongside his brother.
A warm yellow-brick facade, elegant sash windows, and a projecting porte-cochère supported by two pairs of Green Ionic columns give the building its distinctive classical appearance.
The apartment is listed for £395.000 at Inigo.
