Some places just feel calm and settled the minute you walk up the stairs. This two bedroom apartment at Edward House on Kensington High Street really does that. I still remember opening the door for the first time and just standing there for a minute because everything feels open and bright. The big windows let the morning sun in and you can see the private gardens out the front. If you're someone who enjoys looking out on a bit of green instead of city crowds, that view might stick with you too.
The living room has this easy flow. You get natural light on both sides so you never really need to turn on the big lights during the day. The floors are real wood and even when it is a bit cold out there is underfloor heating that makes you want to just walk around barefoot with a cup of coffee. I know that sounds like a small thing but honestly it just feels comfortable. The open space is big enough that if you like proper dinners at home or if you have friends coming over you never feel cramped. Plus the kitchen is actually somewhere you might enjoy cooking in. It has good counter space and the marble tops are more than just for show. It's got a vibe that makes you want to chop vegetables from a local Kensington market and try out new recipes.
In the master bedroom you will find built in wardrobes that actually fit more than just a few suits or dresses. The en suite bathroom has both a bath and a shower, so depending on your mood you (or your guests if you have people staying over) can just relax or take a quick wash in the morning. The second bedroom is a real proper space too. Not just a token guest room like you sometimes find. I walked in there and could actually see someone making it a real home office or maybe a nursery if that's on your list. Plus there is a modern shower room just outside which means nobody ever has to wait in the mornings.
A lot of people ask about amenities and I get it because sometimes you want a bit more than four walls. Here the pool is private and it never feels crowded even on weekends. The gym looks out on the gardens which I think makes those workouts just a little less of a chore. The spa and the private cinema downstairs are honestly things you start to take for granted once you are here. I have heard from residents that movie nights here feel way more special than any cinema trip.
Now the area is what really sells it for some. I've spent enough time around Kensington High Street to know you rarely have to go far for anything. The underground station is only a quick stroll and if you need to reach Knightsbridge or Bond Street you barely get time to check your phone before you arrive. For frequent flyers you have direct links to Heathrow and even Gatwick is straightforward from here. Sometimes you will notice neighbors rolling suitcases down the street and it just seems so easy to come and go if you travel a lot for work or pleasure.
Even with all that, there is a relaxed feeling to Edward House. Kids sometimes play in the gardens in the early evening. The local coffee shop remembers your order after a week or so. There is everything from shops to parks within five minutes and honestly I've found myself just wandering around sometimes enjoying how walkable everything is.
