A finely tuned palette of materials breathes warmth into this five-bedroom villa in welcoming Brook Green.

A natural palette of materials continues across the lower-ground floor kitchen and dining room, delineated into two halves to match the level above. Form meets function in the Italian-crafted Boffi kitchen, with integrated Miele appliances and a smooth-topped island. Enjoy morning coffees on one of the handcrafted breakfast stools or, to the other side of the wood-panelled cupboards, there’s a reclaimed wooden dining table from the ports of old Cape Town. State-of-the-art Flos Parentesis lighting casts a soft glow come evening, while an integrated Sonos sound system is tailor-made for entertaining.

Occupying the entire first floor is the principal bedroom suite, crafted with a calming and minimalist Scandi-esque aesthetic. Whitewashed walls and light wood flooring runs from the sleeping area into the dedicated dressing area – complete with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. Through a clean-line archway, spa-like serenity abounds in the bathroom. A rectangular freestanding tub sits at its centre, surrounded by twin vanities and an inviting rainfall shower. Four further bedrooms unfurl across the second floor, each with vaulted ceilings and understated décor. Three contemporary bathrooms and a suntrap roof terrace complete this level.

The private garden is one of the largest in west London. Its expansive footprint features an array of seating areas and a verdant lawn that’s staggered on two levels. The double-width brick exterior is clad in climbing wisteria – a charming backdrop for al fresco dining, courtesy of the Weber barbecue.
