A London Duplex Apartment with a Purple Kitchen
Located within Repton Park with views of the London skyline stands a gorgeous former hospital built in Victorian Gothic style. This dramatic red brick building has been transformed into apartments and we can tour one of these homes today.
The three bdroom apartment is located over the top two floors of the building and it has been renovated by its architect owner of Kruszelnicki Leetch. The owner added beautiful materials, bold color accents, high-quality fittings, and a striking atrium.
Large double doors lead you into the south facing living room lit by three large sash windows, offering views of the parkland. The architectural features are wonderful, especially the four-metre-high barrel-vaulted ceiling with encased steel beams.
The honey-colored oak parquet adds a classic and warm look to the space while purple color accents in the sofa and the kitchen add a fun touch.
The large dining table with multi colored Eames chairs separate the living area from the kitchen. The purple shade on the cupboards add a warm color accent and they are paired with a classic marble worktop and backsplash. To the left, towards the hallway, is also a utility space.
The hallway is painted in a deep blue shade and the current owner also added molded cornicing, decorative flower motifs on the internal doors, and a combination of cast-iron and steel column radiators to the apartment which fit the period of construction.
The master en suite bathroom is fitted with travertine stone flooring, a black cast-iron slipper bath, and a separate shower.
The master bedoom is located on the lower floor and with windows on both sides, it’s a wonderfully light room. The walls are painted in a calm gray shade, paired with a yellow bedspread for a nice color accent. Built-in wardrobes, on either side of the window, provie plenty of storage space.
The cast iron French-made spiral staircase in the hallway leads you to the upper floor with two more bedrooms and a bathroom.
The largest bedroom is a wonderful children’s room with warm wooden accents, colorful accents in the bedding and rug, and storage space under the slanted ceiling.
The secondbathroom features Carrara marble tilework, Lusso Stone brushed gold sanitaryware, a large cast-iron bath by Aston Matthews, and a separate shower.
The apartment is listed for sale at The Modern House.
