Interiors by Designed by Woulfe
Inside, contemporary interiors are ready to impress. A triple-height void commands attention in the standout communal space and offers a sightline up to the sky. Configured for modern living, seating and dining areas flow seamlessly into one another. A sunken TV snug with a large, curved sofa sits beneath a cosy nook, while a circular dining table opposite overlooks the patio garden.
A mottled brass effect wall partially screens the kitchen beyond. Designed by Roundhouse, the sleek, streamlined space will suit keen cooks. A glass ceiling invites additional light in from the floor above. Also, on this floor, a study with a desk and a pull-out day bed for an occasional visitor, as well as a cloakroom, and a boot and utility room – ideal for freshening up after muddy walks.
Three bedrooms are found on the first floor, off a landing with sink-in cloud armchairs by Graham and Greene for unwinding with a book or a game of chess. Pared-back design and luxurious soft furnishings unite each space – there’s a double, a single with a desk, and a smart twin with a sleek en suite shower room. In the family bathroom, a burnished feature wall backdrops an inviting freestanding bathtub.
Saving the best until last, the principal suite awaits on the top floor. A bright and airy space, an entire wall of glazing folds away onto a glass-floored terrace. Its en suite is equally considered, complete with a generous walk-in shower.
While initially appearing to blend with its heritage backdrop, this architecturally inspiring home is far from traditional. First built by Hugo Tugman at Tugman Partnership, interior designer Brian Woulfe of Designed by Woulfe brought an inviting family feel to its modern framework. Alongside home’s architectural quirks – think walls that veer off at unexpected angles – is a focus on sustainable design with locally sourced materials and repurposed goods.
From the kitchen, concertina windows open onto the al fresco breakfast bar. Effortless entertaining, leisurely breakfasts or shady moments are made easy here, blurring boundaries between inside and out.
Set in picturesque Maida Vale, The Lighthouse puts you within easy reach of the postcode’s best offerings.
Take a stroll up the Grand Union Canal to admire the colourful barges moored along this peaceful stretch. Clifton Road and Formosa Street are your go-tos for groceries, cafes and independent boutiques – plus local favourite gastropub The Prince Alfred. Venture a little further to reach Golborne Road’s antiques markets and renowned restaurants, particularly Straker’s and Caia. Alternatively, head to St John’s Wood for Lord’s Cricket Ground and Regent’s Park Zoo.
Little Venice & Maida Vale
No request is too big or small for our concierge team. Premier League tickets to an all-important game, specialist piano tuners, a Michelin-starred plant-based chef. It’s a yes to all of the above.
