Description

Set on one of North Kensington’s most prestigious streets, this bright and well-arranged two-bedroom apartment occupies the upper floors of an attractive Victorian conversion on tree-lined Oxford Gardens. With far-reaching rooftop views, a private balcony, and beautifully light interiors, this home offers the perfect blend of character and comfort in a prime W10 location.

Arranged over the second floor, the apartment spans approximately 750 sq. ft. and features a spacious open-plan reception and dining area with wooden floors and multiple skylights. The adjoining kitchen is smartly finished with solid wood worktops, integrated appliances, and a charming breakfast bar, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms with bespoke storage and excellent natural light. The principal bedroom opens onto a private decked balcony — a perfect retreat with open sky views across West London. A recently refurbished bathroom with modern tiling and high-quality fixtures completes the layout.

The property has an EPC rating of 72 (Band C), gas central heating, and is offered in excellent condition throughout. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stylish and peaceful home in a well-connected location, moments from local shops, cafes, and transport.

Oxford Gardens is just 0.4 miles (approximately 7 minutes on foot) from Ladbroke Grove station (Circle and Hammersmith & City lines) and within easy reach of the vibrant amenities of Portobello Road, Golborne Road, and Notting Hill. Meanwhile Gardens and Kensington Memorial Park are both under 10 minutes' walk, offering green space for leisure and recreation.

A characterful and light-filled apartment with outside space, set in one of North Kensington’s most sought-after streets.
