Impressive proportions instil a sense of calm at this light-filled three-bedroom apartment in South Kensington

Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Capacity: 5
Garden
In walking distance to South Kensington’s museum heartland, an apartment with an artistic persuasion. Found on the ground floor of a stucco-fronted townhouse, classic architecture has been given a contemporary refresh. Gravitate towards the dual aspect reception room, where lofty three-metre-high ceilings and intricate cornicing nod to the home’s heritage past and floor-to-ceiling French doors bookend the space – facing east and west to catch the sun throughout the day. At the front of the home, a Juliet balcony brings the outside in with soothing leafy views. Settle in for the evening on one of the striped armchairs with a book from the well-stocked bookshelves.

Terracotta tiles add a Mediterranean feeling to the dining room. A glass table for six takes centre stage, while a set of duck egg blue French doors open onto the private garden. Plenty of greenery ensures privacy, while outdoor furniture provides the ultimate spot for al fresco dining.

Back inside, a well-appointed galley kitchen sits off the dining room, with the same terracotta-tiled floor. Light floods in through a large sash window, illuminating the integrated appliances and Shaker-style cabinetry. 

The other half of the home is occupied by comfortable sleeping quarters. The principal bedroom is a space to unwind in, infused with natural light from a set of French doors. A thoroughly relaxing affair, it features a 60’s-style woven wicker bed and a series of integrated wardrobes.  Splashes of turquoise brighten the en suite bathroom, complete with a deep bathtub and rainfall shower. Two further bedrooms enjoy the same calming qualities with pops of colour and an array of custom storage. Both are served by a family bathroom, complete with a teal-tiled shower.
