Allen Street

An abundance of space and natural light characterise this two-bedroom Kensington maisonette for sale.

Sitting alongside a smart townhouse, a flagstone path paves the way to this considered maisonette. Inside, a corridor crowned with a sloping glass roof leads through a functional study to a standout living space beyond.

Encompassing an open-plan reception room and kitchen, the sense of volume immediately impresses. Positioned beneath a void, the ceiling soars to over 2.5 metres high, adding a lofty dimension. Natural light filters down through a skylight above, reflecting off the plaster pink walls. Stretching upwards, a chimney breast accentuates the vertical proportions at play, while a wood burner adds cosiness in the colder months.

Step out from under the void to a more intimate dining space. It’s served by streamlined kitchen featuring white, handleless units and veined marble surfaces. Along the same wall, understairs cupboards offer additional storage, painted in a pistachio shade. A compact south-west facing terrace invites the outside in, with room for seating and a small table.

Upstairs, glass balustrades line the landing, emphasising the sense of space and offering a viewpoint over the living quarters below. Both bedrooms are understated in design. In the principal, a trio of roof windows and a void mean natural light is in plentiful supply. A recess makes an ideal nook for a desk or dressing table. In the en suite – complete with a rainfall shower over a bathtub – a feature wall of geometric tiles pops against the neutral backdrop.

Painted in soft green, the guest bedroom is an inviting space, with an east-facing window to catch the sunrise. It comes with an en suite shower room, enlivened with herringbone tiles in an array of grey and green shades.
