2 bed flat for sale

Wisteria Road, London SE13

This cleverly conceived two-bedroom apartment occupies the lower-ground floor of a Victorian terraced house in Hither Green, south-east London. The team behind the project is Frame, a design-led property group founded by architect Nick Mansour, in collaboration with architect George Dawes. Thoughtful interventions include lighting designed specifically for the home and a tactile, soothing colour palette that acts as an unobtrusive backdrop to day-to-day life.

The Tour

Set on the lower-ground floor, the apartment is approached via a private entrance, fronted by a lovely and bright private sunken courtyard garden.

The entrance opens into a hallway that connects to all parts of the apartment. A neutral atmosphere is curated by a mix of natural wooden floors and a soothing colour palette. Lighting was designed specifically for the project and is complemented by elegant switches and sockets by Belgian architect Eve Van Dyck and designer Thierry Donnay.

The living space lies at the back of the plan is divided between a kitchen, dining and seating area. Here, a wide sliding window with calm views of treetops floods the space with natural light and can be opened to facilitate easy indoor/outdoor living.

There are two spacious double bedrooms stemming from the entrance hall; both have sash windows that bestow plenty of natural light. One of the rooms has direct access to the private courtyard at the front.

The well-appointed bathroom has a free-standing bathtub and separate shower.
