3 bedroom flat for sale

In the heart of North Kensington, a Victorian townhouse conceals this design-led home. Full to the brim with thoughtful detail, design by Hanson Architects and Julie Wallinger Interiors provides a contemporary backdrop for everyday life.

An inverted layout places social spaces upstairs, where the home’s interior architecture invites light to flow seamlessly throughout. A spacious double reception room spans the depth of the home, with bifold doors allowing rooms to flex between intimate retreats and one expansive space. At the front, a sitting room is suffused with natural light. Olive-green walls and a Murano chandelier curate a mood that’s playful and refined; set the scene with the home’s bespoke lighting and Sonos Sound system. Light the functioning Charnwood burner for a warming centrepiece in cooler months.

The dining room continues the theme, with a Marble fireplace of its own and a wall-mounted wine rack. From here, step into the eat-in kitchen crafted by Such Design. Sleek dark cabinets contrast white tiling and Fired Earth floors, all tied together with state-of-the-art appliances and underfloor heating. Breakfasts here come with inspiring surroundings, courtesy of the steel and glass conservatory that opens to a terrace.

Downstairs, the principal bedroom evokes an indulgent feel. An expansive space, it features a grand dressing room to one side and a sitting room to the other. Glazing offers a seamless connection to the outdoors, leading directly to the garden. The en suite bathroom is equally considered, with pale green and grey tiles wrapping around a sky-lit walk-in shower and dual vanity. A second bedroom is served by a family bathroom, an indulgent affair featuring a roll-top bathtub and separate shower.

Outdoors, a landscaped patio garden by Rosie Bines and Mark Wallinger Gardens is a quiet escape. Birch and Magnolia trees provide colour and shade, while a bespoke outdoor studio offers a versatile space for work or creativity.
