Phillimore Gardens, Kensington, London, W8

Modern property with light-filled living areas on a prestigious address near Kensington High Street

Entering the house on the ground floor, the front door opens onto a staircase hall. This leads through to an exceptionally large living space, including an open-plan kitchen and breakfast bar, as well as separate dining and seating areas.

The sliding French doors face south-west, leading into the patio garden and filling the room with natural light. Wooden floors and an open layout add to the sense of space.

The lower ground floor centres on a comfortable family television room. It also features a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a utility room and considerable storage space.

The first floor consists of two bedrooms, both ensuite and with built-in wardrobe space. One of the bedrooms also has wide windows and double French doors giving access to a balcony.

The second floor is entirely occupied by an elegant principal bedroom suite. This includes a bedroom, a dressing room and a well-proportioned bathroom with marble tiling, a shower and a free-standing bath.

The house was recently renovated and decorated in a contemporary style to emphasise the brightness and calm of the interiors. It is presented in good condition with underfloor heating throughout.

The house includes a rear terrace leading down into a patio garden, with space for outdoor seating and separate access to the residential parking on Phillimore Gardens Close. Furthermore, the property is set back from the street with a front garden giving added privacy.

Phillimore Gardens is an impressive street running parallel with the south-west side of Holland Park. Historically, it has been home to several noted politicians and admirals.

Today it is a popular and prestigious address, mostly lined with stucco-fronted Victorian villas. From here, the restaurants, shops and underground station of Kensington High Street are all within easy reach. Furthermore, the open spaces of the park are a few moments’ walk away.
