Tucked away on the top floor, this bohemian style attic apartment presents a quiet and secluded spot with leafy views out onto the neighbourhood below. Best of all you'll be just an eight-minute stroll away from Portobello Road and arguably one of the world's greatest vintage flea markets. With Notting Hill also within short walking distance, you'll have a vast array of incredible boutiques, bars and eateries at your fingertips. Pop over the road to Layla bakery for coffee and pastries each morning to bring back to the home's welcoming ambience filled with a homely charm. Centred around the exposed brickwork chimney breast and classic mantlepiece feature, the living area offers a cosy and contemporary space to kick back between excursions and your time spent out and about in central London. From the quirky art pieces to the bold yet cool and welcoming colour scheme, this Kensington pad is a rusticly glamourous base from which to take in the very best of what London has to offer.
