From the Agent: "An incredible Grade II–listed townhouse that has seen Kensington change beyond recognition from village to one of the most sought-after areas in prime central London. Once the village home of a builder working on the construction of nearby Kensington Palace, this trophy property in a prime location dates back to 1710. Beautifully appointed throughout, the house has a distinctly Gustavian feel, its woodwork in shades of grey, its floorboards bleached, and its simple 18th-century aesthetic reminiscent of that pared-back version of neoclassicism defined by Sweden’s King Gustav III. Simple, and also neat as a pin; there are no untidy corners. The property has ample living rooms including a charming first-floor drawing room with three windows onto the street. A ground-floor dining room, a study, and a generous family room are located in a modern rear glazed extension by architect Oliver Perceval. Stone steps lead to a decked roof terrace at the rear of the house."
