If you’re here to soak up the art and history of one of London’s most well-known cultural quarters, this gorgeous garden flat could be your perfect base. In a residential road running between a few of West London’s exciting high streets, this home offers you space to breathe. Enter through stunning exterior columns and into a bright white living area, contrasting the chic black leather furniture by the bay window. From modern decor to ancient artefacts, you will need to leave the house at some point to visit South Kensington’s world-class museums – the V&A is just a twelve-minute walk, and next to the Natural History Museum. As well as luxury shopping and cocktails in the neighbouring area of Chelsea, Gloucester Road tube is a six-minute walk and your ticket to exploring the rest of this marvellous city. En route to the station, you might get a little distracted as you pass by book shops, traditional pubs, and delicious bakeries – don’t say we didn’t warn you.
