Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home was featured in Elle Decor magazine – and it's easy to see why. High ceilings? Tick. Sleek mirrored kitchen? Tick. Custom-made furniture from New York and Paris? Tick. Books and inspiring collectibles from all around the world keep things interesting at home – and when it's time to venture out, you'll be within easy reach of Kensington, Holland Park, and Chelsea. It's worth noting that the master bedroom is situated on the mezzanine level, and the wet room is quite compact – but we think being just a hop, skip, and jump from Earl's Court station makes up for that.

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...
