Strathmore Gardens

A two-bedroom apartment for sale with a tonal palette and period charm, tucked away on one of the neighbourhood’s sleepier streets.

Lined with leafy trees and towering stucco-fronted homes, Strathmore Gardens is a peaceful pocket of Kensington. Moments from the green expanses of Kensington Gardens and Holland Park, the street exudes the quiet elegance that defines this sought-after corner of West London.

A set of steps lead down to the private front door where a light-filled apartment belies its garden level setting. Inside, herringbone flooring guides the way down a bright hallway. To the right, the open-plan living space serves as the home’s social hub. Defined by soft white walls and intricate heritage cornicing, the room balances period detail with contemporary flair. A marble-surround fireplace anchors the seating area, where a bay window bathes the space in natural light – the ideal spot for a dining table. Subtly separated by an integrated breakfast bar, the kitchen enjoys sleek marble worktops and a subway tiled splashback. Handleless cabinetry seamlessly houses built-in appliances.

The warm tones of the wood floors continue into the home’s sleeping quarters. At the rear, the principal bedroom is serene and understated, with a wall of bespoke wardrobes. Its en suite bathroom, wrapped in marble-effect tiles, features a bath with an overhead shower and a heated towel rail. A second door opens directly to the private courtyard – a secluded spot finished in crisp white, perfect for quiet moments or an al fresco coffee. Next door, the guest bedroom mirrors the home’s natural palette and benefits from a generous bay window. It’s served by a family bathroom, also finished in veined tiles, echoing the refined aesthetic that runs throughout the home.
