2 bedroom apartment for sale

A Grade II listed home that marries its historical framework with modern décor. Blending tradition and contemporary, Kensington Park Gardens’ sophisticated setting comes with a creative streak, plus access to two sought-after communal gardens.

Behind its own private entrance, in a light-flooded reception, texture and tone take centre stage. An original period fireplace and a pared back palette provide an oasis of calm.

From the reception wooden floors flow into the kitchen and dining room, an elongated space with a striking barrel vaulted ceiling. A gold leaf vaulted ceiling hangs above a clean and sleek kitchen, fitted with a smeg range cooker and finished with river marble. A charming retro Smeg fridge brings a pop of colour to the space.

Striking a balance with subtle shades and restrained design, leopard print carpet lends an artistic air to the principal bedroom. A space that masters both form and function, its generous proportions feature built-in wardrobes, and ample space for a super king bed. Both cool in summer and warm in winter, it’s a quiet, calming spot to unwind. An enchanting and private terracotta tiled terrace is host to a romantic spiral staircase that provides direct and private access to the tranquillity of Stanley Gardens South. A second bedroom sits tucked away at the apartment’s entrance, ideal for bunkbeds or as a separate study.

A spacious family bathroom with separate bathtub and shower features a striking handpainted floor by artist Flora Roberts. An additional separate WC serves the second bedroom. Both are fitted with classic lefroy and brooks sanitary wear with nickel plated hardware.

The property additionally benefits from two storage vaults in the courtyard, a private security presence on the street every night, and access to Ladbroke Square Gardens – complete with tennis courts, a playground and ornamental gardens.
