Sitting in prestigious Kensington, this attractive residence is tucked away on a residential mews plot – close enough to the action of the district yet set back enough to enjoy some tranquillity. With two large reception rooms, including a home cinema, home office and a library for those who need to work from home – you'll find plenty of space to keep yourself busy here, whether that be in the form of stretching out in front of your favourite film or series or perhaps burying your head in a book selected from the library. The open-concept kitchen and dining area invite the group to come together at meal times and social occasions in a beautifully luxurious setting. Meanwhile, the fabulous rooftop terrace welcomes you to gaze over the rooftops of West London with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine come evening. Dressed in stylish designs, there's a real sense of understated glamour here, wherever you are in the home. Think neutral hues, soft materials and floods of natural daylight. We particualrly love the marble bathroom, which encourages you to tune in with the art of relaxation and some pampering. And with such an on-point... location, you'll have the likes of Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens within walking distance. Not to mention the sought-after bars, restaurants, and luxury shopping that are all within easy reach alongside the world-famous museums (Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum) that are not to be missed and only a twenty-minute walk away when staying here.

You'll have your own private entrance here
There's a dedicated office here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
