Majestic in Kensington, by Veeve

On a quiet, leafy street in Kensington, just seconds away from the luxurious boutiques and refined restaurants of Kensington High Street, a truly extraordinary home awaits. This sprawling six-bedroom mansion has everything: multiple cosy living spaces, a gorgeous modern kitchen, an expansive private garden and even a completely self-contained one-bedroom sleepout. Live in true luxury right in the heart of one of London’s most renowned neighbourhoods.

Climb the steps in the private front garden and cross the threshold to form your first impression of Majestic in Kensington. It feels grandiose from the minute you enter: take in the elegant parquet flooring, the high ceilings and the tasteful décor – all themes that persist throughout the entire home. Straight ahead, you’ll come to the formal living room, a sophisticated, sunny space boasting two large sofas, two armchairs and a divine gas fireplace commanding attention at the back of the room. Nearby, a sunroom sits ready to stun: the space is enveloped almost entirely by windows and features a glass ceiling, flooding the room in sunlight and making it the perfect nook to relax with a book. On the opposite side of the hallway, another living space awaits; this time a huge flatscreen TV is the centrepiece, sitting above another ornate fireplace and faced by a giant, plush sofa.

Descend the stairs and come to the ground floor, where more spectacular living awaits. The star of the show here is the kitchen: sprawling and modern, bright and clean, its grandeur is matched by its style. A big island anchors the room, its white countertop with light grey cabinetry matching the rest of the surrounding space. You’ll find multiple wash basins, several fridges, two ovens and a huge gas hob in here – a truly luxurious kitchen fit for a Michelin-star chef. Adjacent lies the dining room, where a luxuriant timber dining table sits under a modern light fitting and hosts up to 10 diners. From here, two French doors open up to reveal the garden – an expansive, verdant oasis complete with an outdoor table and sofa, sun loungers, and ample space to enjoy the sun.

Walk to the end of the garden to reach an entirely new building – a self-contained one-bedroom sleepout, complete with a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom with twin beds and a sofa facing a flatscreen TV. Back in the main house, a second bedroom sits adjacent to the dining room, boasting its own access to the garden, a double bed and an en-suite bathroom.

Ascend to the second storey to find two more bedrooms… including the biggest. The principal bedroom, illuminated by two full-height windows looking towards the garden, is a study in refined taste – its tan walls, off-white carpet and exquisite super king-sized bed combine to make this master suite truly shine. Its en-suite bathroom is just as impressive, featuring a big bath, toilet, walk-in shower, double wash basin and another full-height window. The other bedroom on this floor is similarly large, featuring two windows that look out to the street, a plush king-sized bed, and its own en-suite bathroom.

Climb the stairs a final time and reach the apex of this incredible home, which features two more bedrooms with double beds and a fully-equipped bathroom for convenience.
