Kensington Estate & Letting AgentsIslington Estate AgentsA much loved three double bedroom London family home that underwent extensive refurbishment with intelligent interior design choices by Eton’s of Bath.
This turn-key presentation continues across one of the largest footprints (978sqft) in the block, retaining many period features, whilst adding contemporary design and tech twists. Of note, are the new hardwood plan floors, refurbished sashes, and the large south-facing bay window in the reception affording stunning panoramic views across Kensington.
The reception room remains bathed in natural light throughout the day, has a central gas fireplace with handbuilt cabinetry to either side. The room has ample space for soft furnishings and a six-person dining table.
The entrance hall leads past the south-facing principal double bedroom, fitted with a show of wardrobes/storage. Additional ceiling sound proofing has been fitted to the principal bedroom to ensure a peaceful sleeping environment.
The two guest double bedrooms are both fitted with hand-built wardrobes/storage and are served by two well-presented bath/shower rooms (one en suite) with underfloor heating, heated towel rails and marble finishes.
A bespoke hand-built kitchen by Benton’s of Somerset has a water softener, copper finishes and is fitted with integrated Miele and Bosch appliances and underfloor heating. To one side of the kitchen is a walk-in boiler and washer dryer store.
