Charming 2 Bed Vacation Home in South Kensington

A charming period 2 bedroom vacation home in London, with a garden in a quiet corner of South Kensington, with easy access to the shopping and gourmet pleasures of Chelsea and of Knightsbridge.

The more you inspect this period home in South Kensington, the more you realise what a great catch it is. First of all, the interior is unshowy yet discerningly aristocratic, with antique furnishings, original paintings and shelves packed full of books. It all feels classically English, save for the parquet flooring throughout. Somewhat of a coup for London, there's a leafy garden space out through the large glass doors, complete with somewhere to sit for summer evening suppers. And then there's the location, which is nothing short of sensational. You might think that's exaggerating, but you will surely agree when you find out you can walk to the V&A Museum in a little over ten minutes, the critically-acclaimed restaurants of the King's Road in fifteen minutes and the Royal Albert Hall in close to twenty.
