Peel Street W8

Minimalism and modern design unite at this four-bedroom Kensington townhouse.

Perfectly placed between Hyde and Holland Park, this architect-designed townhouse enjoys an unrivalled proximity to west London’s highlights. Set on a street of pristine period façades, a sense of sophistication effortlessly captivates. Beyond its heritage framework however, multiple floors of contemporary interventions redraw this home with a modern eye.

The generous reception room forms an inviting impression, with bright white walls considerately contrasted by dark wooden floors. An antiqued mirror feature wall centres the space, while a curved window seat offers an idyllic vantage point across to the kitchen. Conceived with a minimalist material palette, smooth white cabinetry and fitted Miele appliances produce a pristine culinary setting. A monolithic skylight channels light inside, connecting seamlessly with a wall of glazing to draw in an alfresco feeling.

Found at the top of the home, a tranquil principal bedroom suite intertwines tone and texture. A space that enables effortless mornings, both a dressing room and marble-wrapped en suite bathroom sit adjacent, while an alcove is the perfect spot for crafting coffees in the comfort of your bedroom. To the opposite side, draw open a glass door to discover a south-facing roof terrace – a serene space that benefits from all-day sunshine. Two further bedrooms sit across the first floor, both adorned in calming muted hues. Serving these rooms is a striking marble bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in rainfall shower.

Descending to the lower ground floor, a media room is dressed in deep hues ideal for movie nights. A bedroom suite sits opposite, brightened by an enclosed lightwell that offers a small space for fresh air.
