Meeting House Lane, London, SE15 2, SE15 2UN

This beautifully designed split-level two-bedroom, duplex apartment is set on a quiet, tree-lined street within a converted Victorian house.

Created by an award-winning micro-developer, the home features an inverted layout, placing the kitchen and living room on the top floor to maximise views across the treetops.

Entry is via a communal hallway with Claybrook tiles underfoot. Sisal-style carpeted stairs lead to the first floor, where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located.

At the front of the plan is a bedroom with a cleverly designed walk-in wardrobe that leads to an en-suite shower room. Fired Earth terrazzo tiles and gold-tone hardware are offset by soft pink walls.

The calming palette used in the bedrooms is Portland Stone Light by Little Greene, with Portland Stone on the skirting boards and doors.

At the rear, there is a spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobe storage and a sun-catching balcony that runs the width of the room.

Providing both privacy and an outdoor retreat, the balcony has ample space for planting and a small table and chairs, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee.

Adjacent to this bedroom is a family bathroom with Britton hardware, Domus tiles and a Pelham towel radiator.

Ascending the sage-green stairs, you’ll find a large, cleverly recessed loft space opposite a Serge Mouille–style wall light.

On the top floor, a wall of Idealcombi Danish glazing floods the living and kitchen area with natural light, complemented by a recessed Forest curtain rail.

The plaster walls have been sealed to retain their dusty pink hue, while oak floorboards, reclaimed from other parts of the building and treated with Osmo wax, which add warmth underfoot.

The bespoke BLOQ Design kitchen fronts are painted in Cloth Drop by Farrow & Ball and house integrated appliances that tuck neatly beneath the pitched roofline.

There is also a metal unit for the apartment in the communal front garden, which can be used for bikes or additional storage.
