2 rooms apartment of 58m² in London

A handsome yellow-brick and stucco façade characterises Manson Place, a serene Victorian mansion block just moments from South Kensington’s vibrant heart. Beyond the decorative cornicing and colonnaded entrance – hallmarks of the building’s period heritage – this fifth-floor, two-bedroom apartment paints a thoroughly modern picture. The open-plan reception room is defined by a series of large skylight windows set into the angled roofline, illuminating the plan and its neutral tonal scheme. The living area is anchored by a full-width oak shelving unit, giving the space a warm library-like register against the pale walls and grey carpet. A sofa and dining table sit in easy conversation to one another beneath the sloped ceiling overhead. At the other end of the room, the kitchen is fitted with handleless white cabinetry, a dark mirrored splashback and smooth stone worktops. Appliances are seamlessly integrated for a streamlined culinary set-up. The tranquil atmosphere continues in the principal bedroom suite. Built-in mirrored wardrobes span one wall, while a sleek window draws in the natural light. The en suite bathroom is finished with oversized tiling that wraps around a rainfall shower. A guest bedroom enjoys a full-height upholstered headboard, and views across the surrounding Victorian streetscape through the window. A separate bathroom is accessed across the corridor, with a darker material palette across the bathtub and chrome radiator.
