Aqua Nova Elegance

Its expansive scale and cool colour palette would be enough to evoke a sense of the majestic Thames flowing nearby, or perhaps the sweeping tranquility of neighbouring Battersea Park. But the architect didn't stop there, expertly shaping this home around lofty skylights and cavernous glass ceilings, allowing the light to flood in and illuminate these interiors in all their glory. You're greeted by a luxurious living room and study, where soft tones and elegant touches (vintage marble fireplace and spangled gold chandelier, anyone?)

sit bathed in the light pouring through those splendid double doors on to the kitchen. The latter pairs sleek surfaces with azure accents, and is practically begging for a few dinner parties with family and friends. Plus, whether it's al fresco weather or not, that well-placed glass ceiling means you can enjoy any meal basking under the open skies. The bedrooms on the first floor weave a spell of serenity in their more traditional aesthetic, whilst two additional bedrooms, though up in the eaves, are both bright and airy.

Each bedroom comes with an immaculate en-suite bathroom, making it even trickier to pick your favourite...although if push comes to shove, we'd probably plump for the exquisite principal suite with its roll-top bath. A selection of additional services and items can be ordered through Veeve subject to availability at this property. • Baby cots and high chairs • Early or late check-in and late check-out • Airport pickups and private transfers • Bespoke welcome packs • Mid stay housekeeping • Fresh towel and linen changes • Additional bedding or pillows We Love If there's one spot we'd like to try out on a warm summer's evening, it's got to be that delightful garden, with its sun-trap patio shaded by climbing vines and beautifully tended flowerbeds.
