Reimagining Victorian grace in today's most sophisticated style, Charlotte c.1885 is a designer original tailored for today's entertaining lifestyle. Marking the transition from period to perfection with an innovative split-level design, this designer's own 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home follows a traditional single-fronted design; stepping down to blur the boundaries inside-to-out with lofty living opening to an entertainers' terrace, and rising to a treetop escape in a dedicated master-level.

Specified with this designer's uncompromising eye, the home's full Gaggenau appliance kitchen stars a Liebherr integrated fridge, Nero tapware and Turner and Hastings fireclay-sink, while concealed cistern WCs feature in the bespoke bathrooms (one a decadent dual-vanity ensuite, the main with circular bath), and lustrous brushed-bronze tapware shines throughout. Styled with double-glazed steel French-doors and windows rising over 2 levels, the design echoes the original corbel-arched hallway in glazing and doorways, and takes the arch to new heights with the extended steel shrouds of the home's breath-taking rear elevation.

Marking a gentle interplay between old and new with velvety Venetian plaster extending along the original hall to curved feature-walls, the home is impeccably curated with the sleekest natural stones (including travertine finishes from benchtops, to paving, to cabinetry handles) and the finest Oak flooring and 100% wool carpet. Perfectly practical with privacy-enhancing plantation-shutters and light-filtering linen sheers, there are smart storage solutions including custom-fitted robes...and a luxe approach in a master dressing-area plus study/make-up stations.
