Tucked away down a quiet mews, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, this stylish apartment in South Kensington is a delightful London bolthole to call home. Perfectly placed, the local area is private and peaceful as you might expect, and yet the designer boutiques, fine-dining restaurants and cocktail bars of Kensington high street are nearby, with the Natural History Museum just a five-minute walk away, and the V&A Museum just eight minutes away on foot. Stepping inside, the home is warm and inviting, with stylish furnishings, parquet flooring, and beautiful pieces of modern art adding a visual statement. Flop down in one of two sitting rooms, rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal in the stunning chef's kitchen, or tackle those work emails in the dedicated office space. You'll have everything you need here for a relaxing weekend away or a long term business trip in the city.
