Ravensbury Road, Earlsfield, SW18

Dark brick and large panes of glazing give the three-storey detached house on Ravensbury Road, Earlsfield, a bold face, and the interior matches it with confident colour: cobalt and terracotta walls, terrazzo floors and colour-blocked skirtings and window frames. There are five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms across 3,330 sq ft. A frameless glass balustrade and concealed lighting add a modern edge, and the old and new, vintage finds and bright pieces, sit together without apology.

Hall 2.79m x 3.77m (9'2" x 12'4")

A stripped-pine staircase begins in the hall, over terrazzo tiles, and the walls are the first sign of the colour to come.

Living room 5.73m x 6.68m (18'10" x 21'11")

Built-in alcove shelving and an open fire in a flush plastered chimney breast hold the living room together. The room is staged with an emerald curved sofa and a lacquered side table over a bold geometric rug, and floral curtains hang at the windows.

Study 3.69m x 3.62m (12'1" x 11'11")

Fitted shelving lines the study, which is almost square and takes two desks.

Family room 5.43m x 6.01m (17'10" x 19'9")

A skylight brightens the family room, an almost square room with room for a games table and a big sofa.

Kitchen 3.85m x 6.36m (12'8" x 20'10")

Pink slab cabinets and a terrazzo worktop make the kitchen, with a breakfast bar for stools, and globe pendants of many colours above.

Cloakroom 1.50m x 2.14m (4'11" x 7'0")

Beside the kitchen, a little cloakroom holds the basin and wc.

Principal bedroom 5.27m x 6.42m (17'3" x 21'1")

A built-in desk, a painted headboard shape on the wall and a king-size bed with its foot toward the window make up the principal bedroom, which sits on the first floor.

Bedroom 2 4.07m x 3.82m (13'4" x 12'6")

Bedroom 2 has fitted wardrobes and a bright scalloped headboard, with a vintage kilim on the floor.

A sash window lights Bedroom 3, where a tiled headboard wall is the feature.

On the second floor, Bedroom 4 has a built-in desk and a pink velvet headboard in the staged scheme.

Bedroom 5 has fitted wardrobes and a striped upholstered headboard, with a striped rainbow rug.

Bathroom 2.91m x 3.80m (9'7" x 12'6")

A freestanding bath, a painted vintage dresser holding the basin and patterned cement floor tiles make the family bathroom a showpiece, though the room has no window.

En-suite 2.68m x 2.75m (8'10" x 9'0")

The en-suite is tiled in herringbone, with a shower enclosure and a yellow wall-hung vanity.

Bathroom 2 2.99m x 3.43m (9'10" x 11'3")

Bathroom 3 is also on the top floor, with herringbone tiles, a shower enclosure and a glazed green basin on a brass stand.

The garden faces south and the rear of the house takes the sun, and off-road parking is provided with the property.
