Ahead, the beautiful living room has tall twin windows following the bow of the building where tapestries brought back to the UK from around the globe would be rolled through to the weavers who would painstakingly restore them and behind you, stained glass Deco doors are designed to take some through to the second room, where the women restorers worked. Fusing historic elegance with a sophisticated lifestyle, this is a fabulous space of 5.63 x 4.25m (18’5 x 13’11) with an elegant cornice around the high ceiling and the rare, black Belgian fossil fireplace with a carefully sourced Regency fireguard now houses a cast iron stove.
Next door, the bedroom is quiet and comfortable with garden views and charming period features include its own original fireplace. Central to the apartment, the contemporary bathroom has a Regency influence in the classic Burlington fittings.
Opening to the garden with a door handmade by a craftsman, the high-spec kitchen is ideal for al fresco entertaining. Shaker units deliver plenty of storage, working surfaces are quartz and the touch induction hob and oven are integrated beneath a discreet hood.
