This penthouse apartment is tucked away in one of Kensington's charming red brick buildings. Part of a conservatory area, you’ll be a short walk from shops, restaurants, museums, and a Tube station, making it easy to explore both near and far. The interiors are traditional and understated – there's a cosy living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and two comfortable bedrooms. That said, the star of the show is the enormous roof terrace, where you can perch with a glass of wine and admire the views of the communal garden across the street.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the top floor, so you'll have to climb quite a few flights of stairs to reach the front door.
*You'll have access to the building's communal gardens, which are shared with other residents.
*Though the interiors of this home are non-smoking, you can smoke on the roof terrace.
*There isn't a desk here, but the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Though parking isn't provided, you won't need a car in this location. Multiple Tube stations are within walking distance.
