Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked along a cobbled mews, this home has buckets of charm. The interiors are instantly welcoming – think vintage aesthetics, shelves stacked with books, and bespoke artwork on the walls. You can tell this is a well-loved family pad, and though there are some slight signs of wear and tear, the overall result is a cosy, comfortable homestead. Besides, the location is top-notch. Hyde Park is a short walk away, South Kensington's trendy eateries are close by, and several museums are within walking distance. Factor in the proximity to Gloucester Road Underground, and you can see why it caught our eye.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
