Cornwall Gardens

Serene and well-styled, this one-bedroom apartment for sale captures a quieter side of South Kensington.

There’s a composed charm to Cornwall Gardens. Portico-fronted townhouses frame its three tree-lined lawns, giving the area a sense of quiet order – a welcome surprise just moments from the cultural energy of the V&A, Hyde Park and High Street Kensington.

Set on the second floor of a handsome stucco terrace, this apartment mirrors its surroundings: calm, elegant and softly defined. Inside, a neutral palette and thoughtful layout create a space designed for modern living. The open-plan kitchen and reception room is gently zoned: large floor tiles grounding the kitchen, pairing sleek black counters with pale cabinetry, integrated appliances and stainless-steel finishes. A central island brings function and flow, separating the social space without interrupting its rhythm. Soft carpet warms the lounge and dining area, backdropped by a trio of tall sash windows that frame the leafy garden square opposite.

Opposite, the bedroom continues the theme. It’s a space of soothing tones and soft daylight, oriented to face south. Steps ascend from here to a private room – an ideal home office or walk-in wardrobe. The home additionally benefits from access to the communal garden square, a leafy stretch that invites summer picnics.
