United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty is thrilled to present this pretty two-bedroom house in Kensington. Recently reconfigured, resulting in a home that is both elegant and welcoming. A calming colour palette of chalky hues has been employed throughout, complemented by beautiful marble and warm wooden floors. Set in the heart of W8, the house is close to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Kensington Palace, as well as the fantastic shopping and wonderful array of shops on High Street Kensington.


Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is a chic space defined by an easy sense of flow; floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to a courtyard at the back of the room, blurring the boundary between inside and out. The kitchen is sleek and minimal, its smart white finish reflecting light into the room. Bespoke joinery adds extra storage and the room is warmed by a wood burner, set in the original fireplace.


Upstairs are two bedrooms, both double and ensuite; these are connected by a clever walkway, lined with glass walls, adding a sculptural element to the house. Both of the bathrooms are finished a luxurious marble. On the ground floor, a further guest WC adds a convenient touch.


Shaftesbury Villas is a short walk to a number of excellent shops and restaurants as well as both Holland Park and Kensington Gardens. Hyde Park is also within easy walking distance, as are the convenient public transport links from both High Street Kensington and a little further away at Gloucester Road (Piccadilly, District & Circle Lines).
