Tucked away on a picturesque cobblestone cul-de-sac in the heart of Kensington, this charming home offers a peaceful retreat with no through traffic.
Accessed from street level, this home comprises three floors. A bright dining room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a tastefully furnished living room welcome you on the ground floor. The first floor offers two spacious UK king-sized (5ft wide by 6,6ft long) bedrooms, one featuring an ensuite bathroom with a shower stall and bath, while the other is served by a separate bathroom with a shower stall. Accentuated by a skylight and alongside a home office, the master bedroom on the second floor boasts a UK king-sized bed (5ft wide by 7ft long), complemented by a bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Please note that in addition to the three double beds, the office (which comes with a desk) includes a spare single bed. This is a foldaway model, but it provides a sleeping space for an additional person and may suit a child who does not want to share a bed.
I had concerns about distance to public transportation, but we quickly found the back route to the Kensington-Olympia station. What a pretty walk along Holland to Fairfax to Russell Rd. The staff at that entrance were incredibly helpful too. Plenty of buses go down Kensington High Street or Holland Rd.
It was a short walk to Costa Coffee in the morning and Green Valley deli had great Lebanese take-away. We went to the Crown and Scepter pub several times after long days of seeing the sights in London.
At the end of the stay, it helped to be on the West side of town for an easy trip to Heathrow.
Ivy Lettings did a fine job of keeping us informed and all contact was quickly responded to.
