An immaculately-presented front garden is a precursor to the finely-tuned aesthetic that characterises this four-bedroom family home. From the hallway, enter a formal reception room. At one end of the space, bay windows – complete with integrated seating – cast soft sunlight inside. Guided by period proportions, full-height shelving is finished in a teal shade and sits either side of an original marble fireplace. Sweeping blonde wood floors offer seamless flow from here into the open-plan kitchen and dining room. A spectrum of blue sits characterfully across the shaker-style cabinets, metro tiles and window shutters. Reams of light is filtered through full-height French doors and a skylight, accentuating the room’s large proportions and uplifting tonal palette. A marble-topped island and rangemaster oven are set for culinary creativity, with a large eating area imagined for entertaining. Outside, the garden is zoned between the patio and a lawn, with a wood fire oven at the rear. Framed by brick walls adorned with ivy, there’s a real sense of quietude here.

The home’s characteristic colours and feeling of calm ensues in the lower-ground floor. A reception room and self-contained kitchen is filled with soft light through two large windows and a French door, which opens out to a balcony. A wall of fitted shelving recalls the teal hue of the first reception room, neatly engineered with a desk and television space. Beyond, find a guest bedroom brightly illuminated through bay windows. Its en suite bathroom has been artfully finished with blue metro tiles and a large rainfall shower. With plenty of storage and a spacious footprint, this storey could be imagined as a separate studio apartment.

With pale woven carpets and swathes of sunlight, the principal bedroom is a minimalist sanctum complete with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. Both this room and a guest bedroom have direct access to a family-sized bathroom, showcasing parquet floors, a dual vanity and large marble-topped bath. Also located on this floor, a peaceful study enjoys morning light through a sash window. Upstairs, a third bedroom enjoys access to an en suite shower room – surrounded by an abundance of eaves storage.

There’s a welcoming, community feel to North Kensington, with streets lined with period architecture and leafy trees. With close proximity to both Golborne and Portobello Road, the opportunities for antique hunting and café hopping are in abundance. Pick up authentic Portuguese pastries from Lisboa, before heading to Wormwood Scrubs for a peaceful stroll. Spend an evening enjoying live music and Argentinian food at Laylow, or a Sunday roast at The Elgin. Head into Shepherd’s Bush for luxury shopping at The Village in Westfield or a trip to Soho House’s White City branch.
