2 bed flat for sale

Holland Road W14

A beautifully proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment set on the first floor of a converted Victorian building in the heart of Holland Park. With 784 sq. Ft. Of lateral living space, wonderful ceiling height, excellent natural light and access to an exceptional private communal garden, this is a home that feels considerably larger than its footprint suggests.

The layout has been really well thought through, with virtually no wasted space. At the front, the open-plan kitchen and reception room is bright and sociable, with plenty of room to cook, dine and relax. Wooden floors run throughout, while the contemporary kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and good storage.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles and enjoy a lovely outlook over the leafy communal gardens. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a large bay window, high ceilings, built-in wardrobes and its own beautifully finished en-suite bathroom. The second bathroom is equally well presented, with modern fittings and attractive tiling.

Storage is another real strength of the apartment. Alongside the built-in wardrobes, clever use has been made of the ceiling void above the bathroom to create additional storage for all those things you need but don't necessarily want on show. The apartment also benefits from double glazing throughout.

For us, however, the standout feature has to be the communal garden. Hidden behind the building is an incredibly peaceful, green space reserved for residents, and it feels almost like having a private park at home. Mature planting, established trees and a wonderful sense of tranquillity make it difficult to believe you are living in the middle of London.

The location is equally special. Holland Park itself is moments away and extends across approximately 54 acres, with woodland walks, formal gardens, sports facilities and the beautiful Kyoto Garden. It is one of those rare London parks where every corner feels slightly different and is a genuine extension of the lifestyle here rather than simply somewhere to visit at weekends.

Holland Park offers that increasingly hard-to-find combination of central London convenience and a genuinely residential feel. Kensington High Street, Notting Hill and Shepherd's Bush are all within easy reach, giving you an enormous choice of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities.

Transport connections are excellent, with Kensington (Olympia) providing London Overground services on the Mildmay line as well as District line services at weekends and on some public holidays. Holland Park and Shepherd's Bush Underground stations on the Central line are also within easy walking distance.

This is a wonderfully bright and well-designed home in one of west London's most desirable neighbourhoods, but it is the combination of the generous proportions and extraordinary communal garden that really sets it apart.
