De Vere Gardens

Historic grandeur meets streamlined, spacious living in this stylish Kensington home. From the quiet street, enter the raised-ground floor and step inside a reception room with striking high ceilings.

A conversation between period architecture and contemporary design. Decorative cornicing and lofty proportions set the scene for pared-back furnishings and vibrant artwork. Courtesy of its west-facing position, afternoon sunlight cascades through elegant bay windows. Next door, the Gaggenau-fitted kitchen is a stylish affair. Sleek black cabinets, integrated appliances and glossy granite surfaces.

For a sophisticated home-working space, a study can be accessed via a staircase next to the kitchen. Smart herringbone floors lead from the reception room through the hallway to the expansive master bedroom. Enjoy its refined simplicity; neutral walls set the scene for the midnight-blue bed. An ornate fireplace is a nod to the home’s period pedigree. From here, ascend a staircase to the mezzanine level: a dedicated dressing room, with wrap-around wardrobes sits next to a serene en-suite bathroom. A cosy guest bedroom features an inviting en-suite bathroom, wrapped in smooth marble.
