Parkland Perfection, By Veeve, London

London. Sleeps up to 8

Steps from one of London’s leafiest walking trails lies this heavenly four-bedroom home, sumptuous in its fusion of town and country living. Situated on the outskirts of Highgate Village, you’ll easily lose track of time exploring this most sought after of neighbourhoods, famed for its green spaces, rousing Victorian architecture and plethora of homely pubs and independent boutiques...

Striking chequerboard tiled floors greet you in the entrance hall; an immediate signal towards this home’s exemplary explorations in design. Georgian grace is effortlessly interweaved with contemporary monochrome styling in the dining room, lovingly bathed in natural light. Accent lighting from an opulent chandelier adds intimacy to evening mealtimes, accentuating the clean lines and natural wood floors that bring a modern sensibility.

The adjoining kitchen is effortlessly smart in both design and substance; sleekly fitted with cutting-edge appliances and stainless steel units, offering easy access out to an enthralling garden. Deftly sheltered by imperious trees and lush foliage, the seating area offers every incentive to fire up the barbecue and languorously while away a lazy summer afternoon with delicious food and delightful company.

As the sun slowly fades over this idyllic stretch of north London, step through the patio doors and into the inviting living room, where you’ll find an entertainment system surreptitiously positioned under an elegant alcove wall. Feeling inclined towards an early night? You’ll feel instantly at peace in the principal bedroom with its alluring floral wallpaper paying homage to this home’s pastoral garden views. Ethereal whitewashed walls, pendant lights and soothing pastel hues underscore the essence of relaxation in the remaining bedrooms, while the family bathroom and wet room unashamedly trend towards more modern tastes with their smart, contemporary finishes.
