There is a distinct sense of arrival as you approach Barrington. Set back from the vast, tree-lined expanse of Oakleigh Avenue, this striking period building commands attention with its grand red-brick façade and mature grounds. It is the type of building that hints at history and character before you even reach the front door. Inside, perfectly balances the gravitas of its Edwardian architecture with a playful, modern aesthetic. The current owners have curated a space that feels both vibrant and deeply restful, using a warm colour palette that complements the abundance of natural light. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the reception room. Dominated by a large bay window that frames leafy views, this is a space designed for living rather than just looking. The stripped wooden floorboards and soft terracotta walls create an inviting atmosphere where you can easily picture yourself curling up on the sofa with the Sunday papers or hosting friends for a casual dinner. There is an effortless flow here that makes the room feel spacious yet intimate. Adjacent to this is a bright, galley-style kitchen. It is a lesson in practical design, featuring sleek white cabinetry, warm timber worktops, and a sash window that lets you watch the seasons change while you wait for the kettle to boil. It is a functional, happy space that makes cooking a pleasure. The two bedrooms continue the theme of calm sophistication. The principal bedroom is a generous space painted in soothing green tones, offering ample room for storage and a quiet night’s sleep. The second bedroom, currently styled as a nursery, is equally charming and versatile, efficiently serving as a guest room or home office. A crisp, modern bathroom with a curved tub completes the internal layout. Outside, the experience continues. The expansive communal gardens offer a sprawling green lawn that you can enjoy without the hassle of maintenance, perfect for a glass of wine in the evening sun. With allocated parking and the boutique shops, cafes and transport links of Whetstone High Road just a short stroll away, this apartment offers a lifestyle of ease and connectivity in one of London’s most desirable postcodes.
