A Bright One-Bedroom Victorian Apartment in De Beauvoir
On the raised ground floor of a Victorian terrace house in the heart of De Beauvoir in London lies this charming one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and tall windows.
The interiors of the 19th-century apartment have recently been updated, adding a fresh white palette to the walls and creating bright interior spaces, complemented by the natural light flowing in from the large windows.
The front door opens directly into the open-plan kitchen and living room, which spans the entire length of the apartment. At either end, full-height sash windows flood the living space with natural light.
The sitting room, centered around a cast-iron fireplace framed by open shelving, lies at the front of the plan. The entire living space has white-painted floorboards, which add to that fresh, bright look.
The front sash windows feature the original wooden shutters, painted white to match the interiors.
The niche behind the sofa is the perfect spot for a large dining table.
On the other side of the plan lies the recently renovated kitchen. The open layout and the white interiors make the 475-square-foot apartment feel bigger.
In the kitchen, a Lacanche range has been fitted in the former chimney breast. On the left, a bespoke cabinet provides plenty of storage space.
The wood-topped kitchen island is partly inset with tiles and also features a butler sink.
On the right side of the cooker, the niche has been fitted with shelves, creating a small home office.
The toilet is behind a pretty reclaimed timber door with stained-glass windows.
The toilet is decorated with a cheerful floral wallpaper by Cole & Son. It also features a bespoke sink by Chadder and Co. and Mandarin Stone marble floor tiles.
The tiny bedroom also features a large sash window. The high ceilings have been used to add storage space high above the bed, hidden behind a green-striped curtain.
In the corner of the bedroom is a walk-in shower with a Lefroy Brooks thermostatic valve and marble tiles.
A short flight of steps leads you to the apartment’s cobalt blue front door. A nice color pop in the classic Victorian facade made of London stock bricks and sash windows surrounded by white stucco trim.
The apartment is listed for £615.000 at Inigo.
