Oakworth Road, London

Set on this quiet residential street in the heart of North Kensington, this beautifully finished ground floor garden flat has its own entrance and offers over 1,000 sq ft of bright, lateral living space and a wonderfully calm feel throughout. Meticulously refurbished and extended to a high standard, the property blends smart modern design with the character of a mid-20th century building, creating a home that feels both stylish and easy to live in.
The heart of the home is the impressive open plan reception, dining and kitchen space, designed for modern life with plenty of room to cook, entertain, work from home and properly relax. Herringbone wooden floors, underfloor heating, high ceilings and excellent natural light give the flat a polished yet welcoming feel, while the addition of the sunroom draws the eye straight out to the garden and adds another layer of usable living space. The kitchen is sleek and practical in equal measure, fitted with Miele appliances, a quartz worktop and excellent storage.
The south facing garden is a real standout. Private, charming and not overlooked, it feels like a quiet little escape in Zone 2. With decking, a veranda for shade and just the right amount of greenery, it is the sort of outside space that genuinely gets used, whether for morning coffee, summer lunches or an evening glass of wine when the city starts to feel a bit too loud.
The principal bedroom is larger than usual, measuring close to 7m in length, and has been thoughtfully designed with built in floor to ceiling wardrobes, a stylish en suite and direct access to the garden. A skylight allows natural light to pour in, giving the room an airy and restful feel. The second bedroom is a comfortable double with excellent storage, while the third bedroom works well as a nursery, guest room or study. The main bathroom is finished to a high standard with contemporary tiling and a clean modern look.
There is also the added benefit of the demise of the front garden, double glazing throughout, a soft water system and a strong EPC rating of C, all of which add to the practicality of the home.
Oakworth Road is wonderfully placed for the best of North Kensington and Notting Hill. Kensington Memorial Park is moments away, with Portobello Road, Golborne Road and Westfield all within easy reach. For food and drink, you are spoilt locally with favourites such as Straker’s, The Pelican and Trailer Happiness, while Ladbroke Grove, Latimer Road and White City stations keep the rest of London within easy reach. It is an area with real creative energy, but this particular spot still manages to feel tucked away, which is quite the trick in West London.
This is a seriously well-considered home with strong proportions, excellent light, quality finishes and a private south facing garden that gives it a rare sense of balance between city living and somewhere to properly exhale.
