Russell Road, Holland Park, London, W14

This substantial family house sits behind a handsome stucco-fronted façade and extends to approximately 2,763 sq ft across four floors. High ceilings and original architectural details run through interiors that have been comprehensively updated, and a large roof terrace adds a rare amount of outdoor space for a house in the heart of Kensington.



The ground floor is arranged around a spacious kitchen and dining room, its wide bay window giving space for a full-sized dining table, white cabinetry keeping things bright and understated. Double doors open through to the reception room, more than 22 ft in length, with high ceilings, intricate cornicing, wooden floors and a second broad bay window and plenty of space for seating areas and good natural light through the day. When the doors are opened, these two spaces form one vast double-aspect room, ideal for entertaining. A study sits at the rear and opens onto a small terrace, which leads, in turn, to communal gardens; there is also a guest WC



The principal bedroom lies on the first floor, with a large walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath and separate shower. A second double bedroom sits to the rear and a useful utility completes this level. The upper floor holds three further bedrooms, one ensuite, and a family bathroom.



At the top of the house, a private roof terrace crowns the house measuring approximately 24 ft by 22 ft, with far-reaching views across the surrounding rooftops, room enough for outdoor dining, planting and somewhere to sit out. The house also has coveted access to beautifully maintained communal gardens, perfect for family life.



Russell Road is within easy reach of Holland Park, Kensington High Street and the independent shops and restaurants of Clarendon Cross, with a good choice of schools nearby. Kensington Olympia station runs Overground, National Rail and District line services, with Shepherd's Bush and Holland Park close by for further connections.
