Drayton Gardens VI, South Kensington

Description

A soothing sanctuary to return to after a day in the city, Drayton Gardens VI is a two-bedroom home tucked among the grand and elegant townhouses of South Kensington. Fulham Road is just a short stroll away, its streets lined with cute coffee shops and an excellent choice of restaurants for your evening meals. Spend an afternoon in the traditional Fulham Road Picturehouse, or find some style inspiration in the upmarket interior design shops; there are lots of things to see and do here without ever having to hop on the tube.

This charming home would make a wonderful setting for a couple of friends to enjoy a relaxing getaway in the capital – close enough to many of London’s fabulous attractions and amenities, while offering a peaceful retreat when you need a break from the hustle and bustle. For those travelling on business, there is a dedicated office room to make use of when catching up on calls and emails.

Natural light cascades through the many windows of this airy home, from the peaceful pastel tones of the living room to the gorgeous master bedroom. There is a minimalist feel throughout, without any compromise on warmth and homely comfort. A good night’s rest can be enjoyed in the master bedroom – boasting a super king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a tub – or the generously-sized second bedroom with its plush double bed.

While away sunny afternoons in the lovely paved garden, a secluded sun-trap lined by leafy plants and colourful hydrangeas, with al fresco seating for four guests. The homeowner, who spends the majority of her time designing new pieces for her fashion line in Mexico, loves nothing more than spending time in this tranquil garden space when visiting the UK.
