1 room apartment of 54m² in London

Behind the portico façade and ornate pilasters that define the townhouses of Elgin Crescent, this first-floor apartment pairs generous proportions with a considered sense of calm. The open-plan reception and dining room is framed by two floor-to-ceiling sash windows, drawing in natural light and opening onto a private balcony overlooking the leafy street below. Lofty ceilings amplify the feeling of volume, while timber flooring introduces warmth throughout. Bespoke shelving flanking the chimney breast lends character, complemented by original mid-19th-century shutters. Adjacent, the kitchen continues the home’s light-filled aesthetic. Stone-toned cabinetry, integrated appliances and timber worktops create a clean, contemporary finish, while a large sash window opens onto the balcony, strengthening the connection to the outdoors. Positioned to the rear, the bedroom is bright and restful. Original cornicing nods to the building’s Victorian heritage, while another full-height sash window fills the space with daylight. A marble-clad bathroom serves the space. Residents also benefit from direct access to verdant communal gardens.
