Set behind a handsome facade on one of Kensington’s most quietly coveted streets, this exceptional six-bedroom residence with a rare attached mews house unfolds across five thoughtfully designed levels. Crafted by award-winning practice MMM Architects, the home blends historic charm with bold contemporary expression, resulting in a space that is as functional as it is arresting.

The entrance hall sets the tone leading into a dramatic double-height living area where overhead skylights, tall side windows, and French doors flood the room with natural light. The space flows seamlessly into a formal dining room, anchored by a sculptural fireplace, and a contemporary kitchen centered around a generous island. A study with a sun-filled south-facing bay window and a discreet guest cloakroom complete this level.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to three ensuite bedrooms, each appointed with fine finishes and bespoke detailing. The entire second floor is devoted to the principal suite: a serene and secluded haven comprising a voluminous bedroom, elegant bathroom, and beautifully crafted dressing room, offering both privacy and indulgence.

The lower ground level has been meticulously designed for flexibility and leisure. A fully self-contained staff flat with kitchenette and bath sits alongside a gym and a second kitchen with dumbwaiter access. At the heart of this floor is a remarkable entertaining space with a bar, wine storage, and a cinema snug, artfully concealed behind a theatre-style curtain. Crittall-style glass partitions and patio light wells lend the area an open, airy atmosphere.

Beyond the garden lies the attached mews house, an extraordinary feature in central London. It includes a guest bedroom suite, reception room, garage for two cars, and a utility and plant room. With a private entrance and connection to the main house, it offers superb flexibility for guests, extended family, or staff.

Bedford Gardens, once a hub for artists and creatives, remains one of Kensington’s most charming addresses, an elegant sweep of Georgian and Victorian homes tucked between the boutiques of Notting Hill Gate and the open green of Holland Park. This remarkable home captures the essence of the area’s rich history while embracing the needs of modern family living with grace, scale, and style.
