A Charming Garden Apartment in North Kensington
Among the grand Victorian villas in North Kensington stands a row of Victorian townhouses that have been turned into apartments. The garden floor of one of these historic townhouses is home to this charming three-bedroom apartment.
In recent years, the apartment has undergone a renovation, respecting the 19th-century period features while also adding a glazed extension in the back that floods the interior space with natural light and gives access to the apartment’s private garden.
The sitting room lies in the center of the apartment. The room is focused around an exposed brick wall with a marble fireplace surround and a wood-burning stove.
The open-plan living space is painted in a calm palette of Rose Uniacke shades paired with a stripped oak floor and natural furniture.
A large dining table sits at the end of the room with a floor-to-ceiling mirror behind that reflects the natural light coming from the kitchen extension windows.
The kitchen sits at the back of the house with windows on two walls and the ceiling. The small kitchen is designed in a U-shape with simple white cabinets, a wooden countertop, and a brass tap.
The master bedroom is located in the room with the bay window at the front of the house.
There is a cozy vibe in the room thanks to its pink plaster walls and ceiling. One wall is fitted with white glossy floor-to-ceiling wardrobes.
The apartment has two more bedrooms; one is used as a home office, and the second bedroom is small, but it is fitted with wardrobes that run over the bed and shelves under the windows to provide plenty of storage space.
The private garden is a green oasis with a flagged patio and a pathway made of chipped Welsh slate that runs through the garden with established apple trees, lilac, and magnolia.
At the end of the garden is a wooden deck with plenty of room for an outdoor dining area.
The apartment is listed for £1,350,000 at Inigo.
