6 bedroom property for sale

DescriptionMelbury Road has long been associated with creativity and generous Victorian architecture, and this detached house is a particularly elegant example. Behind its red brick faade lies a turnkey family home of exceptional scale. The interiors have been completely refurbished, bringing a clarity and coherence to all six floors, while the layout prioritises volume, natural light and a sense of ease from room to room. A private garden sits to the rear, framed by soft planting and tall boundary walls that create a rare feeling of seclusion in this part of Holland Park.. The ground floor is arranged as a single open-plan space designed for modern family life. The kitchen, dining and reception areas flow together, creating an extensive footprint that works for both everyday living and offers generous width at close to 19ft at its widest point. Tall windows draw in light throughout the day, while immaculate finishes and contemporary detailing give the room a calm, understated aesthetic. A welcoming entrance hall anchors the plan. The lower-ground floor has been designed as a more intimate level of the house. A media room sits to one side, creating a comfortable retreat, while there is also a generous utility room. This floor also incorporates a separate apartment, ideal for staff accommodation or guests, giving the house the practical flexibility required of a property of this scale. The first floor is entirely dedicated to the principal suite. The bedroom spans the width (19’6 ft) of the house with a soft bay overlooking the treetops. The ensuite bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard with stone surfaces, a freestanding bath and generous storage. A separate powder room sits at the top of the stairs. Two ensuite bedrooms occupy the second floor, each quietly positioned and finished with bespoke wardrobes and contemporary bathrooms. The third floor mirrors this arrangement with two further ensuite bedrooms, all with generous ceiling heights and a consistent, high-quality finish. The top floor is given over to a gym, a bright and versatile space with eaves storage that could evolve with changing needs. The garden sits directly behind the house and has been landscaped with care, offering a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and planting that matures beautifully through the seasons. Melbury Road is one of Holland Park’s most distinguished addresses, known for its wide villas and its historic association with the nineteenth-century Holland Park Circle of artists and architects. The open spaces of Holland Park are moments away, along with the restaurants, independent shops and transport links of Kensington High Street. Kensington Olympia and Holland Park stations are both within easy reach, placing the wider city and Heathrow within straightforward access.
