Oxford Gardens

Considered design meets light-flooded lateral living at this two-bedroom apartment for rent on a coveted North Kensington street.

Found in a handsome mansion building on tree-lined Oxford Gardens, functionality comes to the fore at this recently renovated raised ground floor apartment. A bay fronted reception room with period cornicing and oak floors greets you as you enter the home; its focal point – a majestic fireplace with ornate tiling. High ceilings and large sash windows accentuate the proportions of the open-plan living space, which enjoys enough room for a sizeable dining table and comfortable seating area.

The kitchen is bound by natural light and sleek finishes, with a large south-facing window overlooking the leafy gardens below. Grey-green walls and classic cornicing provide an elegant contrast to the glossy black worktops and white cabinetry. A floating extractor, sleek appliances and a breakfast bar offer contemporary flair.

The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect bay window and a feature fireplace. The finish is timeless and comfortable. The secondary bedroom boasts another bay window as well as original cornicing, cast-iron radiators and integrated storage.

The bright family bathroom is illuminated by both north and south facing sash windows. Tiled in neutral tones and with wall-to-wall mirrors, the space is light and airy. A shower room serves the guest bedroom, complete with an inviting walk-in shower and heated towel rail.
