St Charles Square

Palatial proportions and calming tones bring heritage features to the fore; this spacious two-bedroom apartment is exemplary of its North Kensington postcode.

Behind a stucco-fronted façade, St Charles Square is characterised by soaring ceilings and a serene atmosphere. Exposed wood floors draw you into the expansive open-plan kitchen and reception room; a laid-back space set for dining, entertaining and relaxing. Its three-metre-high ceilings are accentuated with natural light through south-facing French windows, which open out to Juliet balconies. Pale walls lend attention to a feature marble fireplace – an ode to the period’s heritage pedigree. Harmonising with the floors, there’s a naturality to the wooden kitchen cabinetry, which frame integrated appliances for a streamlined culinary space.

The master bedroom suite continues the restful character felt in the social heart of the home. Light pours in through bay windows, accentuating the decorative cornicing. Next door, a soothing ensuite bathroom is wrapped in warm tiles. A guest bedroom – which can be reimagined as a peaceful study – enjoys floor-to-ceiling storage and a sleek ensuite shower room. With access to verdant, shared gardens, St. Charles Square is a tranquil springboard to its welcoming North Kensington postcode.
