This exquisite design-led home in Kensington is an ode to elegant decoration and tasteful style in one of London's most prestigious neighbourhoods.

A grandiose entrance hall and lavish stairwell make an unforgettable first impression as you enter a lavish reception area that epitomises grace with its gentle accents of mauve and polished wood floors. This visually enchanting space leads through to an adjoining dining area which hosts a large walnut table with satin chairs nestled under elegant hanging lights. A modern electric fireplace adds to the enlightened charm in a living area that hosts designer chairs and a glass coffee table. Alternatively, you may wish to enjoy the early morning sun on your back with breakfast on the terrace as you appreciate the view out towards the back gardens.

On the lower level, you'll find an expansive open-plan kitchen and conservatory dining area, designed to perfection with a large island breakfast bar and sleek handleless cabinets. Here, keen chefs can make use of top-of-the range facilities including an American-style fridge with ice dispenser, fitted double oven and gas cooker, while a six-seater table for everyday dining is perfectly placed under a hanging light in the conservatory. Adjacent to this area, a laundry/utilities room provides versatile space for storage and also hosts a walk-in shower and WC.

Fancy a quiet night in? Retire to the modern TV room, equipped with a large entertainment unit, flat-screen TV and a contemporary electric fireplace. From the TV room, guests can directly access the picturesque back garden, beautifully kept with a sophisticated seating area and manicured grass lawn lined with trimmed hedges. On the upper floor of the house is the stunning principal bedroom, contemporary in design and featuring mirrored wall panels and a modern electric fireplace, along with that sought-after extra luxury — air conditioning. Pared back in style, this peaceful room is equipped with a super king-sized bed, recliner armchair and soft carpeted floors. A large space with built-in wardrobes leads to the equally stunning en-suite bathroom. Its elegant design features a double wash basin and the comfort of both a walk-in shower and separate bath.

Opposite the principal suite is the guest bedroom, tastefully designed in earthy tones and equipped with a smart double bed and mirrored chest of drawers. It has the comfort of a stunning en-suite bathroom in marble, fitted with a modern bath and overhead shower. Quietly tucked away on the top floor, the two children’s bedrooms are both finished to an excellent standard with single beds (please note, one bed is a trundle bed). Sleek and contemporary with monochrome patterned walls, the top-floor bathroom is fitted with a full-size bath with overhead shower.
