Holland Street, Kensington, London, W8

Behind its handsome Georgian façade, this Grade II-listed townhouse unfolds across five floors, with four bedrooms, generous reception rooms, a landscaped garden and the rare advantage of air conditioning throughout. The approximately 3,039 sq ft house has been comprehensively restored by Orene Living, retaining its historic character while introducing bespoke interiors and an exceptional specification.



The ground floor is centred on a bespoke kitchen with Miele appliances, a Quooker tap and Calacatta Borghini marble worktops. Beyond, the dining and reception room opens directly onto the garden, while a boot room provides useful storage. Distressed solid oak herringbone flooring and English oak joinery bring warmth throughout.



Two reception rooms extend across the first floor. The larger overlooks Holland Street and has an original fireplace, restored sash windows and decorative cornicing. To the rear, a library and study is lined with bespoke cabinetry.

The principal bedroom occupies the second floor, alongside a dressing room and a generous bathroom with twin basins, a freestanding bath and separate shower. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are found on the third floor.

On the lower-ground floor, a guest bedroom has an ensuite shower room. A utility room and media room complete this level, with the latter opening onto a private rear terrace and providing steps up to the main garden.



Materials and fittings have been carefully selected throughout. The bathrooms feature Italian and Calacatta marble, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and Watermark Collection fittings, while lighting includes pieces by Porta Romana, Ochre, Laura Hammett and Soho Home. A vintage Murano chandelier provides a focal point in one of the principal rooms. Original doors, sash windows and listed joinery have been restored, complemented by Farrow & Ball finishes and a Chesneys fireplace. Underfloor heating, Paladin cast-iron radiators, integrated air conditioning, solar panels and a comprehensive security system bring added comfort and efficiency.



The refurbishment also included a newly constructed roof, structural reinforcement, upgraded drainage and waterproofing. The house is offered with a ten-year Build-Zone structural warranty and a two-year developer repair warranty.

Holland Street lies just south of Notting Hill Gate and moments from Kensington High Street. Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are both within easy reach, alongside the restaurants, independent shops and cafés of Kensington Church Street. The museums of South Kensington and several highly regarded schools are also nearby.
