The Queen Anne terrace with its high ceilings, sleek mirrored kitchen and three double height French windows opening up onto a small balcony makes for dramatic viewing. Perfect for two couples or an older family searching for a well designed apartment. From here, it's within easy reach of Kensington, Holland Park and Chelsea while the high street is only 5 minutes away for grocery shopping. Although you'll only get Apple TV, there are many books and inspiring art to make up for it. The master bedroom is situated in the mezzanine floor which looks over the living area.

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...
