Gloucester Road, London SW7

Set in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, with an immaculate white stucco frontage that faces east towards Kensington Gate, the property makes an elegant first impression. Beyond the charcoal-grey front door, the entrance hallway sets an inviting tone with its high ceilings and patterned feature wall. Head down to the open-plan kitchen and dining room, which is bathed in natural light through dual-aspect windows. There’s a smart feel drawn with the rows of wooden cabinets, marble worktops and integrated appliances. Next to the dining area, French windows open to views of the leafy garden.

Outside, the private garden is a secluded west-facing sanctuary, perfect for enjoying golden afternoon light. Framed by mature greenery and thoughtfully landscaped, it offers a peaceful al fresco setting.

The first-floor sitting room is a tranquil affair, with a pair of large sash windows flooding the space with sunlight. An ornate fireplace surround nods to the home’s esteemed period heritage, while a neutral colour palette is set for interior creativity. Next door, there’s a peaceful guest bedroom and study.

The staircase continues to the second floor, containing the spacious master bedroom. Two sash windows filter natural light inside, with calming views of Kensington Gate outside. There’s also a built-in closet providing plenty of storage. The bathroom has contemporary flair, with a wall of mosaic tiling backdropping the bathtub.

On the ground floor half landing, the layout provides a versatile space that can be used as a study or storage area with access into the garden. In addition, there is a WC. Downstairs, the lower-ground floor features a guest bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette with laundry facilities. With a separate entrance, there’s additional privacy and convenience for longer-stay guests.
