“Understated luxury” is the enticing theme of the show home at award-winning Linden Homes’ stylish new Parkside Place apartments in Hammersmith.
The collection offers a choice of high specification one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus duplexes and a one-off two-bedroom mews house.
The show home is one of the two-bedroom duplex properties and roams across 1,282 square feet. Downstairs the master bedroom is en suite and has its own walk-in wardrobe as well as opening out onto a private patio. The level is joined by the second bedroom, utility room and bathroom.
Upstairs the open plan living area extends the length of the apartment: full-height windows at one end and a fully-fitted kitchen at the other. A handy WC is included and the show home also exhibits an energy efficient air heat pump system, plus a secure video entry system.
The interior design was conceived by Andrew Henry, of Bristol-based Andrew Henry Interiors. He explained: “Because of the location, the objective was to create a cosmopolitan feel of understated luxury. We used copper as an accent colour – it’s very much a current trend in fashion and design.
“The thought process was that the apartment would be owned by a professional couple working in the city, but it might not be their primary residence; it might be their city base and they have another home in the country.
“We wanted it to be smart, understated and elegant. The centrepiece coffee table, for example, is from a Dutch company. We saw it in January at the Maison & Objet design fair in Paris. It’s something very different that we hadn’t seen before and setting it on the cowhide rug picks up on the copper design again.
“We also wanted to demonstrate the apartment’s feeling of space; for example, with the use of the media unit in the living room. People want intelligent solutions, so we also created a work-from-home space which was quite important to show.
“We wanted to make the bedrooms feel very opulent and luxurious. And the downstairs cloakroom was treated with copper wallpaper so that it has the sense almost of a smart boutique hotel. It’s the smallest room in the house but it still has the wow factor!”
Andrew also had advice for apartment owners decorating their new homes: “A lot of apartments are open plan spaces, so think of creating zones rather than make it all work as one area. Divide your design into where you eat, watch TV, and work, for instance.
“As far as bedrooms are concerned, make sure you get the right scale of furniture for the room. And invest in a good quality bed – you will sleep in it nearly every night for a long time, so get the best you can afford.”
Darren Maddox, Linden Homes South East managing director, said: “Parkside Place taps into the attractions of the location, its connections and the striking style of the apartments. It is a very exciting prospect for the market and we’re expecting business to be brisk. Property hunters who delay, risk missing out.”
Located in the Ravenscourt and Starch Green Conservation Area and directly opposite the beautiful Ravenscourt Park, Parkside Place is an oasis amid the W12 postcode’s cosmopolitan West London lifestyle.
A 10-minute walk reaches the closest tube station: Goldhawk Road, served by the Circle Line and Hammersmith and City Line. Shepherd’s Bush tube station on the Central Line is just a little further on with its underground and railway connection to London Bridge.
Close to busy Chiswick High Road, the apartments are amid a thriving, mixed community which enjoys doorstep access to attractions such as the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Bush Theatre and the Olympia exhibition hall.
Each home comes with high specification fixtures and fittings, fitted kitchens as standard, plus a 10-year NHBC warranty and two-year customer care warranty for peace of mind.
