Kensington Gardens Square

Elegant period proportions elevated for modern city living. A one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings, traditional cornicing and considered design touches.

Behind a handsome portico-fronted exterior, a one-bedroom apartment marries period proportions with contemporary flair. High ceilings – adorned with decorative cornicing – impress at once, as you enter the spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room. The atmosphere is at once uplifting and calming, with reams of light flooding through the three large west-facing windows, all of which can be used to access the private balcony that overlooks the leafy street below.

Elegant heritage features converse with modern accents; a feature fireplace faces the stylish kitchen, with latch-free cabinets and AEG appliances including a freestanding integrated fridge freezer. A ladder leads to a mezzanine storage level – ensuring the space is clutter-free.

The bedroom is soothing and serene, with a pared-back palette brightened through sash windows. Its ensuite bathroom is a sleek affair wrapped in pale marble tiles, with an oversized walk-in shower and panel of switchable opaque glass.

This sophisticated first-floor apartment also benefits from noise cancelling insulation between floors, smart heating and access to a communal garden.
