Lateral two-bedroom apartment in Kensington (不能交易)

Designed by an interior designer as their own home, this lateral apartment is set on the first floor of a beautiful Victorian building in South Kensington. Lying on one of London’s finest garden squares, the apartment is exceptionally tranquil. Internally, a material palette of wood, marble and plush fabrics creates a beautifully well-considered finish, defined by exceptional attention to detail.


The apartment is set in a building with an elegant facade of London Stock brick and stucco, setting the tone for the apartment beyond. Defined by its high ceilings, period features and classic proportions, the apartment is spacious and bright. On the right-hand side, a large drawing room has wooden floors complemented by huge sash windows that overlook the garden square. Built-in cabinetry adds storage, and there is plenty of space for a large dining table and a living space.


Next door, in the kitchen, Italian marble worksurfaces top beautiful sage green cabinetry; a marble island adds extra space for the keen cook, and there is room for stools to be placed underneath. Both bedrooms are ensuite, while the master has a walk-in wardrobe; a powder room lies off the entrance hall. A south-facing terrace also leads from here and catches the sun all day. The apartment has fully integrated audio-visual technology.


Wetherby Gardens is just off Hereford Square and has a village-like atmosphere. This property is conveniently located within walking distance of both South Kensington and Gloucester Road underground stations, enabling excellent transport connections to travel London with ease. It is also unusual in that it is one of the few garden squares to allow dogs.
