Situated on the borders of Kensington and Notting Hill, this stylish home has a fantastic address. Browse the vintage clothes and antique stalls at the Portobello Road Market, a five-minute stroll away. Or head to the chic boutiques of Westbourne Grove, twenty minutes on foot, while Kensington Palace is a fifteen-minute ride. There are plenty of eateries and bars on your doorstep too. Walk back through leafy streets to this elegant period townhouse and your beautiful apartment. Inside, have a rest on the comfy blue velvet sofa after a busy day in London. We love the views out over the neighbourhood and gardens from the windows and balconies here. Later, prepare some truffle chicken and potato gratin in the sleek kitchen if you don’t feel like eating out. There’s a desk, too, if you need to catch up on some work. This home is perfect for business professionals, two couples or families looking for an exclusive location.
