Adam and Eve, Kensington, London, W8

Originally built as an artist’s studio in circa 1901, this extraordinarily special, virtually detached freehold house, offers a home of immense charm and style, with windows on three sides, making it incredibly light and bright.

The ground floor was comprehensively modernised in 2017 with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors leading onto the courtyard garden at the end of which is a stunning studio room with matching full-sized doors. A new Bulthaup kitchen, oak flooring, and LED lighting throughout were also added. The result is a breathtaking kitchen/living room, with three metre ceiling heights, flooded with natural light and views onto the wonderful south and west facing garden.

Upstairs are four to five bedrooms, with two bathrooms and a shower room. The principal bedroom suite with charming views over gardens has its bathroom and dressing room ensuite. The two delightful bedrooms on the east side of the house each benefit from their own terraces.

The courtyard garden, also overhauled in 2017, is paved in reclaimed York stone with a mature planting scheme devised by the acclaimed The Land Gardeners. Protected by the neighbouring gardens, it is a haven of light, nature and quiet.

The house benefits from its own off-street parking space fitted with an electric vehicle charging point. Solar panels on the roof and an internal battery supply both the house and the charging point.

Adam and Eve Mews sits to the south of Kensington High Street and so within easy reach of its outstanding shopping, restaurant and transport facilities. Three of Central London’s most beautiful parks, Holland Park, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, are short walks from the house. Thomas’s Kensington, St Mary Abbot’s, Iverna Gardens, St Barnabas/St Philips, and Holland Park schools are all within walking distance of the house.
