Touches of Mediterranean design create character at this two-bedroom apartment with grand heritage proportions.
On a sought-after North Kensington street, this blonde-brick
villa benefits from a sense of privacy. Beyond its column-fronted portico, a lateral
two-bedroom period conversion brings a sympathetic refresh to a traditional
home.
Stepping directly into the home’s social heart, a one-of-a-kind
kitchen sits to one side of the double-fronted layout. Cooking, dining or socialising
– there’s an animated air courtesy of the room’s colossal sash window. Calacatta
marble splashbacks, volcanic rock counters and a bespoke extractor form a captivating
culinary backdrop, while state-of-the-art appliances and a double oven enable
effortless culinary adventures. Linen chandeliers add a layer of ambiance to the
breakfast bar – a relaxed spot to catch the morning sun over breakfast.
In the reception room, a south-west-facing positioning washes
natural light across a symphony of muted, earthy tones. Abstract art by Ginette
Fiandaca styles the walls, while a floral George Smith sofa offers a setting to
admire the black marble fireplace. Nestled between bedrooms to the
opposite side, sky-lit sage tones bring calm to a cosy snug.
Arranged across the rear of the apartment, two bedrooms are
soothing in design. The spacious principal bedroom is all dusky hues and curving
archways, featuring handmade bespoke storage and a super-King sized bed. Through
an open archway, the indulgent en suite bathroom beckons with a generous
bathtub and dual vanity. A calming air continues through the second bedroom, a
peaceful place to unplug served by a sophisticated shower room – think Zellige
tiles, a concrete sink and micro-cement flooring.
The home additionally benefits from a study, plus underfloor
heating throughout.
A sought-after North Kensington setting, Bassett Road places you moments from prime Notting Hill.
Visit the famous market in the mornings, then spend time
discovering the area’s best-kept secrets. Layla’s Bakery is only a six-minute
walk away or stop at Golborne Deli to grab groceries. Rub elbows with the
well-heeled at three-Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth or head to Gold for a
late-evening tipple. Westbourne Grove is lined with independent boutiques to
keep you busy or Ladbroke Grove station – reached in three minutes – can take
you wherever you need to go.
