About this property
An Idyllic Escape, by Veeve
Beautifully designed and meticulously detailed down to the spiral staircase and the winding brick path leading to the gorgeously green garden, this one-bedroom home is a true hidden gem. Located on the ground floor of a stunning Queen Anne-style terrace house in North Kensington, this home is the cream of the crop when it comes to one-bedroom living in one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Immediately from the entryway, turn right and enter the radiant living room. There are so many details to look at: the midnight blue velvet sofa, the magnificently colourful oil painting above the fireplace, and the floral pendant light hanging from the intricately moulded ceiling – all draw the eye and keep a firm grip on your attention. Access an intimate balcony through the large French doors, which overlooks the patio and garden beyond.
Descend the elegant spiral staircase to arrive in the sprawling open-plan kitchen and dining area. The gigantic kitchen is a sight to behold: all-black cabinetry and countertops contrast dazzlingly with the white walls and painted wood floors. The dark island is surrounded by enveloping counters, offering more than enough space for a team of chefs to do their work. The dining table nearby is a magnificent monolith of timber, sitting under three pendant lamps and ready to host six diners.
Access the picture-book garden from the big French doors next to the dining table. A circular table sits under a hanging lantern – inviting the perfect al fresco dining experience. Surrounded on all sides by brick and greenery, this truly feels like the quintessential English outdoor setting. Follow the winding path to reach a spacious lawn, complete with flowerbeds, a park bench and lush natural grass.
Back inside, climb the spiral staircase again and follow the meandering hallway to reach the home’s bathroom. Following the kitchen’s example, it showcases a contrast of dark and light colours and features beautiful fixtures including a bath, two wash basins and a walk-in shower. The bedroom connects to the bathroom, and is easily the most elegant room of this home: a king-sized bed with a glossy black frame centres the room, and sits against a dark blue wall. You’ll find gorgeous art and several chests of drawers here, as well as direct access to the verdant lawn.
WE LOVE
The exquisitely lovely private garden, starting with the all-brick patio surrounded by lush greenery, and ending with the oval lawn at the end of a winding, leafy path.
Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. Two rooms on the ground floor will be locked during your stay. The washing machine and dryer can be found in a separate utility room. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.

Why they chose this property
Londoner’s can’t help but associate this west London neighbourhood with one of the highlights of the summer: Notting Hill Carnival. The rest of the year is, of course, somewhat quieter; Notting Hill being at its heart, a leafy, residential neighbourhood home to the chic, well-heeled and rather famous. But even so, something of the electric, bohemian spirit of that August bank holiday remains in the air all year long.
