There's so much to love about this Kensington home – we don't know where to start. First, it's bright, breezy and perfect for socialising. Whether you're tucking into family meals at the table in front of the bay window, dining outdoors in the garden or cooking up a storm in the sleek kitchen, you'll feel right at home here – plus, there's plenty of space for everyone to sprawl out. We also appreciate all those nice-to-have additions that really elevate it to the next level, like the wine fridge, lush soaker tub in the master bathroom and immaculate outdoor space. Out here, you'll also find a summerhouse that doubles as a home gym with weights, yoga mats and a Peloton bike for those early-morning workout sessions. This home truly has it all, including an enviable location smack-dab in central London. South Kensington is just a ten-minute stroll away – head there for a good selection of upmarket restaurants and charming cafes, as well as the V&A and Natural History Museum. Hyde Park isn't far, either – about fifteen minutes on foot – so you'll have a wealth of nearby options for when you're in the mood to explore.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
