Clifford Gardens

Tucked behind a handsome red brick façade, this elegant home on Clifford Gardens reveals an interior rich in character, texture, and timeless detailing. Set in the heart of Kensal Rise, every corner of this beautifully curated property has been carefully considered and quietly refined.
The house underwent a full restoration seven years ago, with a recent refresh including new carpets and full redecoration. Every decision has been made with purpose—maximising light, enhancing flow, and respecting the home’s original proportions.
The home opens with an immediate sense of style and depth. A pair of black glazed doors draw you into a formal front reception, where the reclaimed Muhuhu hardwood flooring and a black marble fireplace create a strong architectural anchor. Bookcases and layered artwork bring softness and personality, while original cornicing and high ceilings reflect the home’s period heritage.
To the rear, a striking kitchen and dining space unfolds beneath a vaulted glass ceiling. Natural light pours across geometric tiled flooring and dark cabinetry, softening the mood against the crisp white walls. A picture window frames the garden like a painting, complete with a built-in bench seat that invites you to pause. This space has been designed not just to cook, but to host, to connect, and to breathe.
The garden has been landscaped in Indian sandstone with raised beds, creating a calm, private outdoor space that feels deeply connected to the house.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom features bold contrast walls, carefully layered textures, and ample light from a south-facing aspect. The first-floor rear bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, giving a wonderful sense of scale and airiness. There are two further bathrooms on this level, both fitted with Grohe brassware and electric underfloor heating. All fireplaces are gas-connected and operational, including the principal bathroom which is ready for a basket fire.
The top floor holds a further double bedroom with en suite, and a separate study sits at the back of the house, easily adaptable as a fourth bedroom. A large skylight above opens electronically and closes automatically in rain, while triple-glazed, Argon-filled windows throughout the home ensure sound and thermal insulation year-round.
Clifford Gardens is a well-loved residential street just a short walk from the independent shops and cafés of Chamberlayne Road, local schools, and transport connections across the city.
