Park | Apartment in Campden, United Kingdom

Combining classic English touches with modern luxuries, this 1-bed ground floor apartment in Kensington, central London is both well appointed and beautifully presented. It is sure to appeal to discerning couples and business travellers alike.
Situated amid a row of elegant whitewashed properties in one of the most sought after and exclusive addresses in London, this ground floor apartment exudes classic English style and elegance from the moment you step inside. There are ornaments and ornate little treasures in each of the rooms, all of which benefit from big windows and high ceilings that seemingly add to the spacious look and feel.
The main open plan kitchen/dining/living area effortlessly combines the modern with the classic. From the wall-mounted widescreen TV that you can relax on the sofa to watch, to the vintage roll-top writing desk, ideal if you have work to do.
The modern fitted L-shaped kitchen with bright white units and all the amenities you need for a spot of home-style cooking (and washing if needs be), contrasts beautifully with the tapestries and prints that adorn the walls. The cool and convenient glass-topped coffee table complements the circular solid wooden dining table that comfortably seats four by the window.
Here’s a place featuring a gloriously inviting bedroom with a king size bed and bright, modern bathroom that is clearly loved by its owners. A distinctive home enriched with personal treasures now made available to be enjoyed by touring couples or business travellers who really appreciate the finer things in life.

Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
