Grand Proportions and Bay Windows in a Belsize Park Apartment

This light-filled two-bedroom apartment, with high ceilings and large bay windows, is located on the grand first floor of a Victorian villa in the heart of Belsize Park in London.

The apartment was renovated to a high standard, and period features like the soaring ceilings, elegant proportions, and period detailing like the stucco on the ceiling give the apartment a classic look.

Through towering floor-to-ceiling bay windows, light flows into the living room, onto the herringbone parquet floor and paneled walls. The oak floorboards run throughout the apartment for a uniform look.

The grand proportions are paired with original details, including elaborate moulding and cornicing, tall skirtings, and classic panelling.

In the open-plan living room and kitchen, lavish 19th-century molding with acanthus and egg-and-dart motifs have been carefully preserved.

Along two walls, an elegant contemporary kitchen has been fitted with cabinet doors painted in Farrow & Ball’s “French Grey”. These modern gray cabinets are paired with a Calacatta Vagli Oro marble countertop, backsplash, and shelf from Diespeker and Co.

The hallway sits between the living space and the master bedroom. From this room, you can also access the bathroom and the smallest bedroom.

The second bedroom has been turned into a light-filled home office. The room features French doors, and thanks to the floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows, light flows from the French doors to the hallway.

The French doors give access to a small private terrace with potted plants and room for a small bistro set.

The master bedroom features the same grand bay window and decorative molding as the living room.

The bed has been placed in the center of the room, allowing one wall to be fitted with wardrobes. The large bay window is now fitted with a vanity table, but it could also be a wonderful spot for a chaise longue.

The apartment is listed for £1,750,000 at Inigo.
