Wood Quirk, By Veeve

London, Norfolk

Elegance and character go hand in hand in this three-bedroom Victorian home. Boasting a much sought-after location in the heart of vibrant Camden, the excitement and variety of this North-London hotspot is just a stone's throw away, and with the Underground just minutes away, the rest of the city is yours for the taking. Although exquisite interior design and a private patio garden mean the temptation to stay could always win...

Effortlessly blending the best of its Victorian terrace features with a stylish modern aesthetic, you'll find a flair for design in every detail here — without any compromising on the kind of homeliness you'd want from a family pad. The kitchen and dining area pairs rustic wood surfaces with slick metallic units, skilfully synthesising traditional elegance and industrial-style chic. There's also oodles of space to cook with the family, or entertain friends at that generously-sized table. In the living room beyond, plush textures and a sleek chandelier bring the vintage charm, while that Crittall window provides the modern twist. A second living area works similar contrasts, combining sultry modern interiors with a magnificent Chesterfield sofa — from the comfort of which you can enjoy those garden views. Up a sculpted spiral staircase (you'd expect nothing less here), you'll find four bedrooms; the standout being the principal room, with its striking mix of olive green tones and dark-chocolate wood. There's also a handy single bed, perfect for a younger guest; and an airy double room on the top floor, boasting rooftop views and air conditioning.

We love...
The patio is set for summer, where chalk-white walls and an inviting seating area bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Camden. Staying in the cooler months? Allow us to point out that exquisite, green bathroom, complete with a roll-top tub that's practically crying out for leisurely evening soaks.
