Description

The inbetweeners

If you blanch at anything bright, or find black too, well, gloomy – then this home has the hues for you. Neutral is beautiful at Eccleston Square III, from the sofa in quiet grey to the pale wood floor and walls of but the softest shades. A handful of minutes from Victoria, here you can sit back and be soothed. But there’s more to do than dream.

Peaches and cream

Eccleston Square is a lovely sight, and the good news is you’ll get an even better view of it from this home.

Sunlight washes over the pale walls and warms the honeyed wooden floorboards underfoot.
