Napier Place

A three-bedroom mews house for rent in Kensington elevated by contemporary design and creative finesse.

A home for the 21^st century, Napier Place puts a contemporary spin on the quintessential mews, with an inverted layout and convivial open-plan living spaces. Tucked away at the bottom of a peaceful, cobbled cul-de-sac, a sense of calm translates to the interior design – think neutral tones, pared-back finishes and plenty of natural light.

The social hub of the home is spread across the spacious first floor. Crowned by a huge retractable skylight, the space is an entertainer’s paradise, with a streamlined flow between the kitchen, living and dining areas. There’s a bright and voluminous feel throughout. Dark stone countertops, integrated appliances and a wooden breakfast bar ensure all practicalities are met with panache, while multiple seating areas can host the whole family. Music lovers, take note: behind the partition wall, a grand piano awaits in the snug. There’s also a Sonos music system to soundtrack your days and nights.  

Downstairs, the principal bedroom suite is conducive to switching off. Sliding doors open to a dedicated dressing space and a sleek bathroom with a dual vanity. For family and guests, the first and ground-floor bedroom suites balance refined tones and eclectic artwork. Also on the lower level, there’s a home gym and a convenient laundry room.
