Kensington Gardens Square

A penthouse with enviable connectivity to the outdoors. This three-bedroom Bayswater apartment features a sprawling footprint, reams of sunlight, two balconies and a private terrace.

Encompassing the entire top floor of a new-build development in Bayswater, this three-bedroom penthouse apartment has been drawn with a streamlined and minimalist aesthetic eye. A lift opens directly into the property, where a long entrance hallway leads down into the home’s social heart. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room has understated sophistication with smart whitewashed walls and wooden floors — offering a neutral backdrop for interior creativity. Capitalising on the high vantage point, dual-aspect fenestration bathes the space in sunlight.

The kitchen is ergonomic and modish with its glossy cabinetry and hi-tech Miele appliances, plus a central island that’s crowned with contemporary pendant lights. It’s a space tailor-made for entertaining, with a sense of flow between the dining and lounge areas. Bi-folding doors lead into an additional living room, which is flooded with natural light through a glass roof. From here, there’s direct access to the private terrace which enjoys views across the surrounding roofscape.

The principal bedroom suite is a calming space crafted with pared-back tones, complete with a dressing area and sleek en suite bathroom. From the sleeping area, full-height glass doors open onto a private balcony. This bedroom’s layout is matched across the hallway by the second bedroom suite, which also enjoys direct access to a balcony. Completing the property is a third bedroom suite and a separate study, which could be reimagined as a small room with a baby’s crib.
