Smooth curves and mid-century wooden finishings present this unique Kensington apartment with bags of class and style. As you step through the front door, it is instantly clear that this home has been curated with high-quality furnishings and designs throughout. On the ground floor, an open plan kitchen and the living area presents a sociable space to relax amidst floods of natural daylight that bursts in through the French doors leading from the Juliet balcony. While upstairs on the mezzanine floor, you'll find two-bedroom suites (one of which boasts a roll-top bath) – perfect for unwinding after a day out in the city. Despite the home's central location, you'll find the area is residentially quiet and an easy place to catch some respite from the buzz of London for much needed moments of downtime. And since you'll be located just four minutes away from a local Waitrose supermarket and only a ten-minute stroll from a Marks & Spencer and a Sainsbury's store – you'll have convenience on hand here too. Not to mention that from this address, you'll get to enjoy the vast variety of charming eateries, gastro pubs, local coffee shops, museums and shopping boutiques all with ease and... within walking distance.
