A Victorian end-of-terrace apartment in Kensal Rise that wears its age well – ornate ceilings, a large fireplace, and a freestanding claw-foot bathtub that makes the bathroom feel more like a retreat than a room. Glass doors lead out to the garden, a real oasis with outdoor seating and a garden studio with workspace, offering extra flexibility for guests who need a quiet spot to work.
