It’s all about the bright white, light filled rooms, and art bedecked walls in this elegant home in Kensington. Less than a 5-minute walk from Kensington station, it’s hard to believe that this peaceful home on its leafy, residential street is so centrally located – Holland Park is less than a 20-minute walk away, and the shops, restaurants, bars and live music venues of Shepherd’s Bush are just a 15-minute walk. But that combination of peace and quiet paired with proximity to central London is just one of things that makes this place so enticing. We love the style and verve the owners have brought to their home. The living room, with its working fireplace, elegant sofas, eclectic objets d’art and abstract art feels curated and creative, while down in the kitchen, bright white cabinets pair perfectly with the light-filled dining room. Here boldly striped dining chairs sit next to a black, overflowing bookcase that lines one wall. We bet you’ll want to make the most of the walled garden. An inviting bench sits amidst trailing ivy and we can easily imagine enjoying an afternoon tea or evening drink in this ever so peaceful spot. Please note all stays of 8... nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
