“The current owners – a set designer and a portrait photographer – have brought an artist’s eye and a quiet creativity to the space, pairing bold moments of colour with refined, tactile finishes.”
Positioned on the raised ground floor of a stucco-fronted Victorian building, this beautifully reimagined one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of leafy St. John’s Wood. The current owners – a set designer and a photographer – have brought an artist’s eye and a quiet creativity to the space, pairing bold moments of colour with refined, tactile finishes. The result is a home that feels warm, expressive and intentionally calm.
The building has recently undergone a full refurbishment, with natural, muted tones in the communal areas setting a peaceful tone on arrival. Inside, original Victorian details – high ceilings, ornate cornicing, oak flooring and tall sash windows – give the space a quiet grandeur. Light moves beautifully through the apartment, entering from both front and rear, where four-pane glazed double doors open onto private residents’ gardens beyond.
The open-plan living space has been cleverly configured to maximise both volume and utility. A rich palette and layered textures create warmth and depth, while bespoke, colour-matched joinery conceals shelving and frames feature fireplace, and opposite, the country-style kitchen with understated precision. Storage is generous and seamlessly integrated throughout.
Unusually for a home of this scale, outdoor space is offered in two distinct forms. At the rear, a wrought-iron balcony extends the living area into the open air, while residents also enjoy coveted key access to the only private communal garden square in St John’s Wood’s, a rare and valuable amenity in central London.
The bedroom sits quietly at the front of the plan, wrapped in bespoke cabinetry that echoes the detailing found throughout the apartment. Built-in wardrobes flank the bed, while soft, integrated lighting adds to the atmosphere. An en-suite bathroom lies beyond, centred around a bespoke Teak bath and finished with mosaic tiles and a hand-painted mural — a tranquil, hotel-like retreat.
