Fernhurst Road II, Fulham

Description

Open audition

The parks, the gastropubs, the river – Fulham makes the most tantalising tableau. But the main act has to be Fernhurst Road II, a stylish family home on a pretty, tree-lined street. The walls are white, the lines are crisp, and if the interiors are unerringly modern, the Victorian furniture is every inch a seasoned performer. The kitchen’s skylight is particularly airy above its chunky wooden dining table – from here you might drowse into the garden just beyond, or take in a show in the (enticingly close) West End.
Up in lights
Part English, part Italian, your hosts bought Fernhurst Road II from the father of an actor. These days their daughter is the undoubted star – a born performer, she loves to dance and sing, act and recite.

Encore
Through the front door, the uncluttered sitting room is just the spot to make an entrance. Choose between the sofa and the well-bred armchair, ease a book from the modern shelves or step round the corner. With its white surfaces, generous island and table for six, there’s plenty of space to entertain – though the delicate garden might have everyone dashing through the impressive sliding-glass wall.

And when it’s time to draw the curtains, keep an eye open for the master bedroom’s carved bedstead, not to mention the pink, theatrical child’s bedroom.
