Kensington Gardens Square

A sophisticated canvas for modern city living. Set within a Grade II listed conversion, this architect-designed three-bedroom duplex overlooks its namesake communal garden.

Rows of handsome Georgian townhouses showcase the esteemed architectural heritage of Kensington Gardens Square. Behind the retained portico frontage of this Grade II listed property, contemporary interventions fast-forwards this three-bedroom duplex into the 21^st century.

Enter on the third storey, where engineered oak parquet floors draw you into the open-plan reception room – bathed in sunlight courtesy of three sash windows. To one side, a clean-line fireplace nods to the home’s heritage; to the other, a dark-stained wood shelving unit is bold in its modern design. Whitewashed walls span the room and continue into the kitchen, expertly-crafted by Roundhouse. Pale grey cabinets and smooth surfaces frame Siemens appliances, making for a stylish and ergonomic culinary setting. 

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite uplifts as it soothes – filled with soft light through two arched sash windows. A pared-back palette lends attention to period features including black cast-iron radiators and an ornate feature fireplace. Its en suite bathroom is immaculately-finished with grey marble tiles, a freestanding tub and dual vanity. A guest bedroom shares the hushed material palette of the principal, served by a sleek en suite shower room with a parquet marble feature wall. Downstairs, a third bedroom offers versatility to be used as a quiet study space. Completing the home, there’s access to the communal lawns of Kensington Gardens Square.
