2 BR apartment in Kensington

Our spacious and comfortable apartment is in Kensington, close to shops and restaurants. As it is on the 5th floor (with a lift) the whole flat has a light and airy feel, and is in excellent decorative order throughout. The spacious and nicely furnished living room covers one end of the flat with windows at both ends overlooking trees, the tennis courts and cricket field. There is a rectangular dining table and seating for eight at one end of the room. There is a digital flat screen TV, a DVD player and a CD player. There is broadband internet connection (no computer supplied)

In the master bedroom the twin beds are made up as a king double (they are not zip/link). Dressing table and built-in wardrobes. The small 2nd bedroom has trundle beds (i.e. the 2nd bed sits below the main one), but can be pulled out so the bedroom can sleep two. Built in wardrobes and a desk.

The modern, tiled bathroom is off the hallway, and has a power shower into the bath, plus the basin and toilet. Next door is a separate cloakroom with basin and toilet.

Ilchester Place is wonderfully situated between Holland Park and High Street Kensington. As well as the excellent shopping and a wide selection of restaurants on and around the High Street, our apartment has the added advantage of overlooking Holland Park Gardens, considered to be one of London’s most beautiful and romantic parks, an oasis of green with specimen trees and lovely shrubs. There is also a cricket field and tennis courts. Holland Park has a reputation as an affluent and fashionable area, known for attractive terraces of large Victorian townhouses of which Richard Branson owns one!

A Waitrose supermarket is just three minutes walk from the flat, and a “Whole Food” organic store, covering six floors, apparently the largest in the world, is just 7 minutes walk away.

Holland Park and Holland Park Theatre are right on the door step. Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are a good walk up Kensington High Street. Knightsbridge, Harrods, Harvey Nicholls, Royal Albert Hall are only a short bus ride away. The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Victoria & Albert Museums, Brompton Oratory – are also only a bus ride away.
