Set on one of Kensington’s most desirable streets, this newly refurbished five-bedroom townhouse combines period proportions with high-end contemporary finishes. Spread over five storeys and approximately 3,150 sq ft, the house is laid out for family living and entertaining, with a separate self-contained one-bedroom duplex ideal for guests, staff or a private workspace.
The raised ground floor offers a generous open-plan reception and drawing room set off tall sash windows and pale oak floors, while a bespoke kitchen with Carrara worktops and Miele appliances opens through Crittall doors to a south-facing garden. A top-floor principal suite occupies the entire floor, featuring a vaulted ceiling, walk-through dressing room, marble-clad bathroom and access to a quiet south-facing terrace — a private retreat within the house.
Practical comforts include air-conditioning and underfloor heating throughout, plus a separate media room and utility. The property’s period shell—mid-terrace, solid brick construction from before 1900—retains character but may lack modern cavity insulation, which could affect long-term running costs. The garden and plot are modest for the size of the house, and the property’s tenure is currently unspecified, which buyers should confirm early in the process.
Well placed for excellent local schools, transport and amenities, this house will suit growing families wanting a substantial, turn-key Kensington home with flexible ancillary accommodation. Buyers seeking large private gardens or full outdoor privacy may find the plot limited; those prioritising finish, location and space for multigenerational living will find strong appeal.
