Stucco The Middle With You

This stucco and brick terraced house in Belgravia has kept its early Victorian style alive with ornate furniture and charming era-appropriate artwork that gives a glimpse into historic London. You’ll relax by the original fireplace in the bright living room and head through to the adjoining study area to get a little work done at the antique desk. The formal dining room is just as quaint, with a large round table where you’ll gather for breakfasts and evening feasts. Crucially, it has moved on from the nineteenth century in other areas, such as the dazzlingly white kitchen and a soft grey colour palette adopted throughout. If you luck out with the weather, you can enjoy afternoon tea out on your private patio, but if it does rain — this is London after all — you can take shelter in the independent boutiques and fine-dining restaurants on the King's Road, just a short dash from your front door.
