A Mews House in Kensington

The ground floor is given over almost entirely to the reception room, which runs to over 34 ft and is anchored by a walnut floating staircase, with oversized windows drawing light in from both ends. A private patio at the rear offers a quiet spot away from the main living space.

On the lower ground floor, the kitchen and dining room stretches to almost 22 ft, fitted with Miele appliances, quartz worktops and Carrara Royale marble flooring, with a guest cloakroom and additional storage close by.

The first floor is taken up entirely by the principal bedroom, with an ensuite finished in Selena Beige marble with underfloor heating. A second double bedroom sits on the top floor, with a bathroom finished to the same standard.

Throughout, the house combines wide-board natural oak flooring and solid walnut staircases with whole-house MVHR ventilation, air conditioning, Cat6 cabling and reclaimed 200-year-old English brickwork, all of which has earnt it an EPC B rating despite its period surroundings.

Lexham Mews itself is about as central as Kensington gets, close to the boutiques, restaurants and cafés of Kensington High Street, with Holland Park an easy walk away and High Street Kensington station providing connections across London.
