3 bedroom flat for sale

Community minded North Kensington is the backdrop for this handsomely restored apartment, in walking distance to the independent bakeries, delis and restaurants of Golborne Road. Set on the first and second floor, the neighbourhood’s calmer pace finds its way inside, courtesy of uplifting proportions and pared-back finishes. Off the entrance hall, a fluid kitchen, dining and reception room is dressed in a soft neutral palette that allows the scale to speak for itself. Heritage detail balances with modern living; plasterwork draws the eye up, as tall sash windows invite in generous natural light. Along one wall, minimalistic wooden cabinetry, Corian worktops and integrated Miele appliances bring finesse, functionality and natural flow with the wider, well-considered living space. Bedrooms follow a relaxed rhythm. The principal is understated: natural materials, a dual aspect outlook and custom-built storage to keep clutter at bay. French doors open onto a small balcony – the perfectly placed perch for slow mornings. The en suite is set to soothe with large format stone tiles, a walk-in shower and a skylight crowning it all. A family bathroom in the same palette serves two further bedrooms – one found in the eaves that could also serve as a tucked away study. There’s a welcoming, laid-back feel to North Kensington. Within walking distance of both Golborne and Portobello Road, an array of independent businesses awaits on the doorstep. Shop for supplies at Golborne Deli & Wine Store, spend lunchtimes at Straker’s or pick up pastries to go from Lisboa. Weekends unwind locally, browsing the neighbourhood’s renowned antique and vintage stalls. For luxury shopping, The Village at Westfield is close by – stop for a drink at the White City branch of Soho House. Latimer Road – 13 mins (Hammersmith & City, Circle)
