Ravenscourt Square

Thoughtful design and slick contrasts are at the heart of everything here. The living room is a dreamy sky-blue, with eye-catching wall art and French windows that let the light wash in. We'd probably choose to relax here during the day before cosying up in the library snug later — which is tailor-made for night-time nesting, with midnight interiors and wood-burning stove. The kitchen boasts a glass-filled dining area opening onto the patio — complete with alfresco alternative. Proving you can never have too much monochrome tiling, we love the old-time charm of those bathrooms, where sleek brick tiles and geometric floors somehow make your daily ablutions seem that bit classier. This attention to detail extends to the bedrooms too, with our favourites being the adorably designed children's room, and the contrast of rich, smoky walls and warm, amber accents downstairs.

We love...

The nursery is not only incredibly quaint, but usefully versatile — coming as it does with some gym equipment. And last but by no means least, rumour has it Oscar Wilde used to host glamorous parties here — and we can't think of a better seal of approval!
