Wonderful Contemporary 2 Bedroom Apartment In Kensington Row, UK

Some places make you pause for a breath as soon as you step inside and honestly this two bedroom apartment at Thomas Earle House inside Kensington Row is one of those. I remember walking through the front door and just sort of standing still for a second. Sunlight spills in from almost everywhere. That south facing view helps. It has a way of making the place feel warm even on those grey London days. The layout here is a bit different and honestly it just feels smart. Both of the bedrooms are tucked away downstairs and both feel really private whether you are sharing with family or a mate or even on your own. And each one opens out to a terrace that wraps almost the whole length of this home. I can picture grabbing a coffee in the morning and just stepping right outside in your slippers looking out across Kensington and sometimes you catch a little bit of city life below but it is never too busy.

The living room is up on the top floor which gives it a sort of lofted feel. It is all open plan so it is easy to picture friends coming over and everyone just sort of gathering around. The kitchen is properly fitted out and the materials actually feel good to touch. There is a bit of character with the hardwood floors under your feet. I noticed the way the light moves across them at different times of day. So small thing maybe but it really adds something. There is nothing dark or gloomy in here. The kitchen does not just look nice for photos it is somewhere you would actually cook in. There are chrome details and the stone finish is smooth if you care about that stuff. The real treat is up in the master bathroom where you will notice these Swarovski crystal lights that make mornings a bit gentler or evenings a bit less rushed. You get a walk in wardrobe too which honestly is pretty rare to find in London apartments that feel this modern.

Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms. It means if you have guests or kids visiting everyone gets some privacy. The carpet in the bedrooms is soft enough that you may not even bother with slippers. Also if you have work to do at home or just want to watch a movie you have a private cinema room downstairs in the building. It is always worth checking if these places are just for show but this one really gets used. Sometimes you might see a neighbour taking their laptop down there. The building is full of these little touches. The concierge service is there when you need it even late at night which really makes travel a bit easier if you are flying in and out of London quite a lot.

Kensington Row itself sits quietly just off Kensington High Street and you are close enough to pop over for a coffee or just a wander through the shops. There are landscaped gardens all around and some water features which you can hear from the terrace sometimes if the city noise drops away. There is a vitality pool tucked away near the gym which I think some people here use more than the actual pool. The gym is kitted out with everything you need and nothing feels over complicated so you can just get on with your day. The treatment room downstairs is easy to book if you ever feel like you need a proper pause.

Really this could work for a small family or someone wanting a second base in London. You get the convenience but also a bit of peace and you always feel like you can close the door and just be at ease. At the end of the day the only real way to see what is special here is to come by and get a feel for it yourself. If you want to have a look or just talk through your options you can reach out any time. We always try to help you figure out if a place feels right because honestly that is what matters most.
