Spread out over a whopping five floors just off Kensington High Street, this recently renovated house is a wonderful mix of period charm and contemporary flair. Heading through the front door, guests will be greeted by a masterful ground level that brings together everything from bold botanical wallpaper and chic chandeliers to a kitchen dominated by a wealth of sleek surfaces. The upper floors share this eclectic style, along with some walk-in dressing rooms and inviting bathtubs for good measure. The feather in the cap has to be the home's garden, which is not only spacious by London standards but has some neatly maintained plant beds and plenty of seating for enjoying balmy London evenings. If you're in the mood for an even more expansive outdoor space, the wonderous Holland Park can be reached in under five minutes on foot and offers a wide choice of gardens and The Design Museum sitting just on the outskirts. The Royal Albert Hall is only twenty minutes' walk away, too.
