Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 4
Capacity: 8
Community minded North Kensington provides the backdrop for this convivial home, within walking distance to independent shops, bars and restaurants. There’s plenty to distract inside too. With an open-plan layout designed for families, a double reception room wraps around to an eat-in kitchen. Practice scales on the eye-catching grand piano, read by the gas fire, or kick back in front of the smart TV. Design is on the sophisticated side – think dark wooden floors and a muted colour palette that accentuates the generous sense of space. 

The kitchen looks and acts the part, complete with quartz worktops, an induction hob and a table that seats eight. From here, step out into a private east-facing garden that catches the morning light. 

The heart of the home is found on the lower ground floor – a standout entertaining space that’s as well suited to movie marathons as it is socialising with friends and family at the back-lit bar or around the formal dining table. Crittall doors open onto a small courtyard, while a lightwell brightens the space during the day. Come evening, filament lamps and mottled walls create an ambient backdrop.

Also on this floor, there’s a quiet guest bedroom with a sofa bed and smart en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms are found on the first floor, including the comfortable principal suite, with a window seat to watch the world go by. The adjoining bathroom features a freestanding bathtub and a large walk-in shower, all finished in soothing grey tones.
