Up on the third floor of a characterful townhouse, this penthouse commands attention for its elevated position and exquisite finishes. Recently renovated to exacting standards, considered materials bring finesse to a functional footprint.

The main hub of the home, the dual-aspect reception room encompasses a living and dining space and a polished kitchen. Ted Todd parquet floors and bespoke joinery are a common feature throughout. Echoing the heritage charm of the building, double glazed original timber sash windows have been installed alongside other contemporary additions, including underfloor heating and air conditioning. The kitchen leans of the classic side: all Italian marble worktops, curved cabinetry and deVOL brassware. Integrated Miele appliances and an ergonomic layout ensure the space performs.

All three bedrooms have a calming feel courtesy of their neutral colour palettes. In the principal, a row of fitted wardrobes keeps the floorspace streamlined and clutter-free, while a south-facing outlook bathes the room in natural light. Next door, the en suite is wrapped in white marble. Two further bedrooms – one double, one single – are served by a shower room.

The pièce de resistance though is the 750 square foot roof terrace. Spanning two buildings, its expansive decked footprint is divided between areas for seating and al fresco dining, complete with a barbecue.
