Property Description

Spoonful of sugar

It’s not just cream cakes and coffee that make South Kensington so enticing – within a stroll of the museums and cafés, Old Brompton Road VI is refreshingly designed. Its rooms blend bright white walls and deep-pile rugs, and you’ll find a collection of arty furniture too. The paintings and prints are carefully curated and contemporary in black and white, while dramatic statuary – including chiselled cherubs and Grecian busts – glows traditionally in the Arco lamplight. And when the hour arrives for afternoon tea, choose between the sitting room’s deep white sofa or the leather club chair.

The home-makers

When not at home in London, your hosts find fulfilment in Shropshire. And they’re busy converting their country home into a B&B so that others can savour it too.

Beautiful brew

From the hanging Buddhas in the hallway to the sparkle of the sitting room’s grate, this airy home has been decorated with a discerning eye. The neutral tones and sweeping curtains are soothing, while the kitchen is cleverly arranged with a table for four tucked in the corner. Follow the walls of contemporary photography into the mirrored bedroom, where there’s a charcoal-suede double bed overlooked by a fruit-laden cherub, or take a tour of the area’s renowned restaurants before you settle down.
