Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

A beautiful home within a striking, period building, this place has the wow factor from the minute you approach the front door. With a desirable location next to Kensington and Chelsea and a grand interior, it's got the sought-after address and the elegant living space all sewn up. Inside, you'll find an impressive double-height living space – painted all-white – with tall, arched windows to one wall. One of the bedrooms is off this level, along with a bathroom, but it's up on the mezzanine floor that the magic happens. With a small but well-equipped kitchen and a dining table overlooking the living room below, it's a real talking point. Just a few minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station, the whole city is at your fingertips. Stretch your legs and stroll to the Natural History Museum or head into Chelsea for fine dining and world-class shopping.

Home truths

    This is a family-friendly home, however, it isn't considered suitable for children under ten and the decor is sparse

    This home has a unique double-height layout so there are several stairs to negotiate here

    Weekend check-ins operate with a lockbox here (personal check-in can be arranged for the weekend but this will be at an extra cost)

    Bedroom one does not have bedside lamps for reading

    This is a lived-in home – expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings

Local guide


About Earl's Court

Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
