The first-floor reception space reimagines the classic drawing room with a distinctly contemporary lens. High ceilings and a broad bay window opening onto a balcony bring the volume and light, while a statement fireplace and integrated cocktail bar create a modish setting for entertaining.
A masterclass in contemporary design concealed behind a handsome period façade, this five-bedroom townhouse pairs sculptural architecture with stylish interiors and a flawless material palette.
Property information
Overview
On one of Kensington’s most elegant tree-lined streets, this whitewashed stucco-fronted townhouse conceals an unexpected contemporary world within. Reconfigured from two period residences into one expansive five-storey home, there’s a considered balance of boldness and restraint. Generous proportions are met with warm timber, natural stone and softly layered textures – and at its centre – a sculptural cantilevered staircase threads through the house, connecting social and switch-off spaces designed for modern-day family life.
The living spaces
Down-time continues on the lower-ground floor, with stylish recessed lighting and a cosy sofa perfect for movie nights. Just beyond, a dedicated office makes for the most stylish work-from-home set up – directly opening onto the internal patio garden.
Kitchen & dining
There’s a sense of occasion to the dining area. Glass bubble pendant lights hang across a striking marble table, framed by high ceilings and curated artwork. Natural light beams in through elegant bay windows and a wall of black-framed glass – beyond which lies the statement kitchen. Stained wood cabinets, hi-tech appliances and a relaxed breakfast bar set the scene; views across the courtyard garden and its Banksy-inspired mural draw greenery and artful playfulness inside.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Calmness and soft interiors define the five bedrooms. The principal suite is all organic tones and tactile materials, from the full-height headboard to the herringbone oak floors and rows of integrated timber cabinets. Behind a sliding pocket door, the bathroom is a minimalist masterpiece; the floating double vanity and glass-framed oversized rainfall shower set a soothing scene. Four additional bedrooms offer space for friends and family to spread out, located on the upper and lower floors – one enjoying direct access to the courtyard through sliding glass doors.
Outside space
A suntrap pocket at the centre of the house, a secluded patio is carved into an internal void. Surrounded by painted brickwork and architectural glazing, it’s a tranquil spot for a morning coffee, an afternoon read or drinks beneath the evening sky.
