Observatory Gardens, Kensington, London, W8

Three-bedroom flat with spacious and stylish interiors in walking distance of Kensington High Street

Entering the flat on the upper ground floor, the front hall leads through to a large reception room with a bay window giving added space and light. This room communicates with a second reception room at the other of the building, where a pair of French doors lead out onto the terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with light, while next door is a modern kitchen with metal finishes and a balcony looking out over the garden below.

Downstairs, the flat contains three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms contain entire walls of windows, as well as French doors giving access to the terrace. The third bedroom has a bay window, an additional storage cupboard, and opens onto a front patio providing separate access to the street.

The flat benefits from underfloor heating throughout and is decorated in an elegant style.

The property includes a pair of paved terraces over two floors, connected by a spiral staircase, with enough space for outdoor dining.
Observatory Gardens was once the site of an observatory belonging to the astronomer Sir James South, with a dome built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The current street was laid out in 1870 and built in 1883, with red brick houses designed in the Revival style popular at the time. However, in 1990 the street was entirely rebuilt, only leaving the original façade, while replacing the interiors with luxury flats.

Today, the street is exceptionally well positioned. Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are both a short walk away. Kensington High Street is also close, with its celebrated mix of restaurants and shops, as well as its nearby underground station.
