Perched along a quiet, leafy street in Kensington Olympia, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the tube station, this sophisticated family house never seems to end. A sense of luxury is present the moment you arrive at the elegant four-storey home. From the pale-painted and poised living spaces, punctuated with antiques and artwork to add layers of interest and beauty. Through to one beckoning bedroom and bathroom after another, spread out across two floors. Wherever you are, this place feels like a masterclass in exceptional living in the city. But for us, the clear standout feature has to be downstairs in the impressive kitchen and dining area, that’s designed for action. This space is best served with those incredible full-height patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in, as you come together for a long, lazy breakfast before setting out to explore. And you're in the right part of town to do so. On the neighbouring well-heeled streets of Kensington Olympia, you’ll find cosy local pubs and eateries all within walking distance. Or hop on the tube, just a six-minute stroll away, to uncover the best of the city. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more...
