Onslow Gardens, South Kensington, London, SW7

Arranged across the first and second floors of a handsome period building in South Kensington, this two-bedroom apartment has generous proportions, exceptional entertaining space and two terraces overlooking the garden square. Extending to approximately 1,491 sq ft, it combines period detail with thoughtful interior design, creating a polished home in one of SW7’s most established addresses.



The principal reception room occupies a broad, west-facing position on the first floor, with tall French doors opening onto a terrace that runs along the front of the apartment. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a chandelier bring a sense of grandeur, while bespoke joinery, pale timber flooring and a softer decorative palette keep the room feeling bright and comfortable. An exposed brick wall adds texture and contrast, framing a bar area and display shelving.



A separate dining room sits to the rear, opening onto a second terrace with space for outdoor seating. The kitchen is positioned alongside, with pale cabinetry, integrated appliances and a practical arrangement for everyday use. The layout works well for entertaining, allowing the reception, dining room and terraces to be used as distinct but connected spaces.



Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously sized and has an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. A second double bedroom also has its own shower room, while a further bathroom is positioned on the first floor. The arrangement gives both bedrooms privacy from the main living spaces below.



Onslow Gardens is one of South Kensington’s most recognisable gardens, known for its handsome stucco and brick terraces and proximity to some of London’s best museums, restaurants and schools. South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations are both within easy reach, as are the boutiques and cafés of Fulham Road, the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and the cultural institutions of Exhibition Road.
