Flat for sale in Queen's Gate Gardens, London SW7

Built in the mid-19th century by imminent architect Charles Aldin, the white stucco building is Grade II listed, owing to its plethora of period details. It is set around a beautiful ornamental garden, giving it an utterly tranquil atmosphere.

Entry is on the third floor, where a private staircase leads to the apartment; there is also direct lift access. A large living and dining room on this floor is punctuated by three large sash windows framing leafy views of verdant tree canopies. In the next-door kitchen, sleek minimal cabinetry conceals appliances and reflects light back into the room. A double bedroom and powder room complete this level.

A staircase leads to the fifth floor, where three further bedrooms are located. The master is ensuite, while the other two share a large family bathroom. The chic apartment is finished in a considered palette of fresh white walls and dark wooden floors, which run throughout.

The apartment also has access to the square gardens, which are communal and accessible only to residents. The apartment is close to many restaurants, cafes and shops on

the northern stretch of Gloucester Road, all within short walking distance. The nearest underground station is the well-connected Gloucester Road and for those driving, the A4 provides quick access to the M4 and Heathrow to the West and Knightsbridge to the East. High Street Kensington is also a very short walk away.
