LANGHAM HOUSE CLOSE

24th September 2014

For all the times that I come across a great looking house, I must admit, as a city dweller, I’m always interested when I see a cleverly designed flat. I live in a flat; most people I know do the same. It’s just part of city living.

Which brings me to this apartment on Ham Common in London. As regular readers will be aware, I have a soft spot for internal brickwork. Give me a property with exposed brick walls, be it a loft or a mews, and I’m sold. So my interest was piqued from that very first image above. Throw in the mid-century classics and, well, this is my kind of interior.

THE KILN STUDIOS

26th August 2014

I’ve said it before (possibly too many times) and I’ll doubtless say it again, but nothing appeals to me more than a compact house or flat that’s been cleverly designed. If you live in the city centre as I do, then making the most of a tight floor-plan is often the norm. And, too often, smaller properties just have wasted space, whether that’s poorly thought out storage or dead circulation space. So whenever I find a house or flat that answers this, well, I sit up and take notice. Continue Reading…

19th August 2014

Every so often I spot a property that, even though it’s under offer or, as in this case, has already sold, is so great looking that I need to feature it. Because for everyone’s that’s looking at property with the aim of buying a new house or flat, there are even more people looking purely for design inspiration. Continue Reading…

PORTLAND ROAD

21st July 2014

Glamour. That’s the first word that comes to mind when considering the very gorgeous interior of this house on Portland Road in London’s Holland Park. This is one super-styled living space, and everything about this interior, from the materials and finishes used – just look at the bathroom above – to the choice of furnishings – cue the over-scaled button-back headboard in the bedroom – suggests a confident aesthetic with an eye for luxe details.

HIGHGATE HILL

20th June 2014

Maybe it’s because of the summery weather here in the UK but I can’t help but be drawn to properties with a great indoor-outdoor flow at the moment. There’s something about that spilling-the-indoors-out that feels so appealing on these warmer days, and this five bedroom Victorian terraced house at Highgate Hill highlights this connection brilliantly.

THE WORKSHOP

30th May 2014

There’s a saying about not judging a book by its cover, and the same is often true about properties. Sure, some houses show you just how wonderful they are from the exterior. You’re sold from the driveway, basically, or when standing outside the front door.

But others give little away from their façade, which only makes a house seem all the more intriguing, particularly when the interior turns out to be something truly spectacular. Continue Reading…
