Immerse yourself in nature at Hyde Park, just a ten-minute walk away from this elegant, Edwardian home on a tree-lined street in the heart of Bayswater. Otherwise, admire the history and architecture of Kensington Palace, or enjoy the meandering canals of peaceful Little Venice. If you fancy some fine dining, there’s a two-star Michelin restaurant nearby too. All these attractions are just a twenty-minute saunter, so there’s plenty to do out and about. As soon as you step into the grand entrance hall here, you’ll feel a sense of old-world charm. We adore the high ceilings and dark wood floors beneath a grand, glittering chandelier, as well as the eye-grabbing peacock print wallpaper in each bedroom. Music lovers will love it here too – listen to some vinyl or play the keyboard and entertain your guests. And when you wake up in the morning, there’s no better place for your morning coffee than in the conservatory off the kitchen. This is the perfect oasis in bustling London.
