Onslow Gardens, South Kensington

Enjoying one of the area’s most desirable positions, this second floor apartment occupies part of a Grade II-listed terraced stucco townhouse, dating back to the mid-19th century. A grand Doric portico creates an imposing first impression, while internally character features include sash windows, built-in cabinetry and an open fireplace with marble/stone surround.

The neutral interiors are well presented and easily personalised by the new owner. The accommodation is arranged around a central hallway with a useful storage cupboard. There are two double bedrooms, one to the front and one to the rear, both with built-in storage, and a well-equipped bathroom with bath and shower over.

The kitchen features contemporary stainless steel and glass cabinets with a generous amount of storage, as well as a fitted gas hob, dishwasher and oven. A hatch provides open access to the adjoining reception room, a fabulously light and airy room with space for a dining table and seating area, and a wall of floor-toceiling cupboards and bookshelves which makes for a visually appealing and practical feature.
