An air of understated elegance fills this peaceful South Kensington home, mirroring the classy avenues and sophisticated streets outside. Located on a quiet residential road, and yet a five-minute walk to the oh-so-trendy Walton Street, you really couldn't be better placed for taking in the sights and sounds of West London. Alongside dozens of fine-dining establishments, independent coffee houses, and luxury shopping boutiques, you're an eight-minute stroll from the V&A Museum. When – shopped-out and full of caffeine – you do eventually return to your new home-from-home, you'll find a light-filled living space benefitting from neutral grey tones, pops of gold, and a marble fireplace. As evening draws in, enjoy sipping a glass of rosé out on your private patio area, before heading into Central London to catch a West End show – just a fifteen-minute tube ride from your graceful townhouse.
