Cool Britannia, by Veeve

Exemplifying contemporary cool with its clean lines, deft shifts in texture and tone and glorious garden for al fresco entertaining, this four-bedroom home encapsulates intelligent, modern family living. Situated a stone’s throw from Clapham South Underground station with charming Battersea also only a short hop away, this is an alluring abode in which to explore London life south of the river...

Skilfully enhancing its period features with a contemporary uplift, the living room seamlessly blends styles with its subtle neutral hues enhanced by the splashes of colour provided by a majestic traditional fireplace, smart leather sofas and Union Jack cushions. Masterful in its embrace of contemporary styling and deployment of contrast, the capacious open-plan kitchen and dining area intelligently draws in natural light from the garden, heightening the sense of space within and enshrining a convivial feel in the chic lounge and dining area. Dark wood units bring a distinguished air to the generously equipped modern kitchen, expertly set up for adventurous gourmets with its extensive kitchen island.

Crisp whites, an opulent chandelier light and a magnificent bay window elevate the mood in the principal suite. Playing host to a super king-sized bed, a bedside table and two chests of drawers, this bedroom also offers an en-suite bathroom emboldened by striking red tiles and boasting a bath, walk-in shower, double wash basin and toilet. Minimalist in style, the peaceful first bedroom offers a restful double bed, while monochrome bring a dash of yin and yang to the third bedroom, also hosting a double bed and presenting generous wardrobe space. Festoon lighting and punchy notes of pink add a romantic flavour to the fourth double bedroom. A splash of ocean blue lends a nautical air to the second bathroom, comprising a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and toilet, while the third bathroom is decorated in a calming neutral style and comes complete with a bath and rainfall shower, wash basin and toilet.

However, the final word simply has to rest with the impressive garden terrace. It’s real hive for socialising with its seating area and barbecue, while younger guests will find plenty to keep themselves entertained courtesy of a trampoline, netball net and bikes.

We Love
The irresistibly stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area, harmoniously at one with the garden to create a truly convivial environment for socialising.
