Aqua Nova Elegance, by Veeve

Moments from the Thames and beautiful Battersea Park, this enchanting four-bedroom home transforms a classic redbrick terrace into a dashing masterpiece of design. Boasting interiors coruscating with dazzling skylights and crisp tones, along with a well-kept patio garden, it's an excellent family retreat for those looking to combine a little luxury with close proximity to some of south London's top attractions (hello, glamorous Chelsea and ultra-chic Battersea Power Station...).

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 two adult bedrooms weave a spell of serenity in their more traditional aesthetic, whilst the children's rooms, 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.

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. There's also something uniquely charming about how a sprinkling of striking artwork throughout lends a little stylishness to the most humdrum tasks. Whether you're working from that elegantly kitted out study, or just blowing off steam in that lavishly equipped games room, it's amazing what a few captivating paintings will do.
