Some places make you stop talking for a moment when you walk in. This six bedroom apartment in Academy Gardens feels like that right off the bat. In Kensington and Chelsea you get used to beautiful buildings and grand addresses but honestly this one does something extra and you feel it straight away. The entrance is quiet and private then you get this hush as you come through the hall with soft light coming in from everywhere.
It is spread across two whole levels which is something you really just do not see much in London apartments. The ceilings are high so you get that tall old London feeling but the finishes are all new and super crisp. You stand in the dining room and just look over at the sleek kitchen and it all kind of fits together. The kitchen works for real life cooking too. Everything is tucked away and there is enough space to actually spread out your groceries if you want to make a proper meal. I imagine a Sunday roast is pretty easy to pull off here. The living room sits wide with loads of natural light. Honestly the windows are huge all the way up to the ceiling and you get this view out to the old garden square that just feels like a little secret right in the city. If you stand by them even for a minute it sort of slows you down. Sometimes you see a neighbor walking their dog or just the way the sun hits the trees outside and it feels a bit calming.
On the upper floor you have that entrance and the main rooms for gathering like the dining and living plus two bedrooms tucked together. Those two are connected but still feel private. I think it would be perfect if you have younger kids or want an extra guest space or even a spot for a home office. There is this proper study as well where it is quiet enough to focus. Both bedrooms and the study open out to big terraces so you get an outdoor feeling without leaving home.
Going downstairs is a surprise too because you still get a lot of light even though it is lower. There are four bedrooms here and each has its own bathroom so no arguments about morning routines. Two of them are larger with their own walk in dressing spaces and these just feel good for anyone who likes space or just needs somewhere to hide all the winter coats and shoes. Everyone gets their own bit of outside too. There are patios off all the rooms on this floor so you can step outside with a coffee in the morning or maybe just get a breath of fresh air before settling in for the night.
The floors are this nice mix of stone and wood. Feels modern but not cold. The walls are all pale and bright with little touches here and there to keep it from feeling plain. And you will notice everything is finished really well. Nothing too flashy or over the top. The lighting just works and you do not have that feeling of hunting around for a switch.
One thing you will keep hearing about is location and that is not just talk here. Academy Gardens sits quietly between Holland Park and Kensington Gardens so sometimes you really have to decide between a morning walk under the trees or a quick shop on Kensington High Street. Everything is close enough that you do not need a car unless you really want one. There are coffee shops tucked on the corners nearby and even spots where you see kids cycling by in the afternoons.
This part of Kensington really does work for families or just anyone who wants peace and space but does not want to give up the city. It is tucked away enough to feel private but still so close to everything you need.
The only way to know if it feels right is to come and just walk through it yourself. No rush. If you have any questions or just want to see the space at your own pace you can reach out any time. At LuxuryProperty.com we keep things simple and want your next move to feel as easy as it should.
