Kensington, Central London

8 people ∙ 4 bedrooms ∙ 2 bathrooms

On a tranquil, tree-dotted street close to Kensington Gardens, this home has a soft palette to match. Entering at street level you’ll find the kitchen – which has white cabinets and a granite-topped breakfast bar – and straight ahead, there’s space for six at the dining table’s grey high-backed chairs. Beyond the dining room, the sitting room is contemporary too, from the cream sofa and contemporary armchairs to the skylights above the clean-lined coffee table. Through bifold doors, there’s more seating space out on the paved, white-washed patio. On the first floor, the dark-tiled bathroom is at the top of the stairs, followed by the compact fourth bedroom and the larger second bedroom (both with double beds). Up again you’ll find the second bathroom, the third bedroom (with another double bed), and finally the master bedroom, which has cream-coloured walls and a grey button-backed double bed.

Brunswick Gardens II is a six bedroom, five bathroom home in Kensington. Although in many ways rather grand – you’ll spot original details, antiques and impressive accessories aplenty – this home’s living areas still have a welcoming vibe, thanks to dashes of colour and printed soft furnishings. The master bedroom’s a decadent space, with a curtained bed (surrounded by portraits and historied pieces) and a generous ensuite. You’ll find the surrounding streets dotted with local pubs and eateries, and you’re very close to Kensington Gardens. It’s only a seven-minute walk to the nearest tube station, Notting Hill Gate.
