Queen’s Gate

Just minutes from South Kensington’s museum heartland, this three-bedroom lateral apartment for sale echoes its sophisticated postcode with refined interior styling.

In the middle of this historic South Kensington street – bookended by Kensington Gardens and Old Brompton Road – is an elegant three-bedroom apartment. Spread across the second floor of a handsome period townhouse, the lateral home exudes sophistication with its carefully considered tonal scheme, quality materials and timeless finishes – imagined by the interior design experts at Robelia.

From the home’s entrance, bi-folding doors reveal an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. Immaculately-laid Versailles flooring spans the entire space, complemented by the neat wainscoting across the walls. Natural light is diffused through two large French windows, while a contemporary pendant light provides a warm glow when night draws in. A log fireplace makes for a cosy focal point for the living area, or if the weather’s nice, head out through the glass doors to a private balcony – it’s framed with ornate cast-iron railings and backdropped by leafy trees.

A wide archway, finished with Arabescato Vagli marble, leads into the kitchen and dining area. There’s a calming atmosphere to the setting, with its high ceilings, neutral walls and reams of sunlight. Designed by Bakehouse, the bespoke sage-green kitchen cabinetry is paired with smooth whitewashed worktops and Swadling bronze tapware. Integrated Miele appliances keep things streamlined for all manner of culinary endeavours. If you’re entertaining, there’s also a built-in mirrored bar unit behind the living area.

Refined minimalism is the order of the day in Queens Gate’s three bedrooms. The principal suite has a spacious footprint, introduced with smart wood floors arranged diagonally. Its en suite bathroom is a calming affair, finished with pale marble tiling and a rainfall shower. Two guest bedrooms are served by a large bathroom, wrapped in Arabescato Vagli marble and featuring an indulgent bath tub.
