Positioned in an enviable location, a 2-minute stroll from Hyde Park, this lovely white stucco-fronted apartment has easy access to Little Venice canals and Paddington Station. A leisurely walk across the expansive greenery of Hyde Park takes you to the myriad museums of South Kensington – the V&A, Natural History, and Science Museum. There are plenty of chic eateries, bars and cafés on your doorstep, but the natural minimalism and calming interior of this apartment might invite you to spend an evening in. Raw wood accents and houseplants brighten up the pristine white walls. The dining table sits in a sunny bay window, offering the perfect spot for breakfast before a big day out. Just off the master bedroom, French doors open up to a tiny, flower-filled balcony with a couple of bistro chairs to take in the sun and a twisting spiral staircase that leads to a shared roof terrace – a rarity in central London.
