Highlever Road, London, W10 6PN

Rooted in North Kensington’s community spirit, this red-brick townhouse balances sociable flow with considered design.

Independent cafés and neighbourhood favourites are moments away; inside, the layout is equally attuned to connection.

A double reception room unfolds into an eat-in kitchen, creating a seamless setting for routine living and impromptu gatherings alike.

Dark wooden floors and a muted palette ground the space, while a grand piano brings a sculptural focal point to the scene.

The kitchen is sleek and functional – quartz worktops, induction hob and a generous dining table for eight – before doors open to an east-facing garden, softly lit by the morning sun.

Downstairs, the lower-ground level shifts mood.

A dedicated media room and back-lit bar make this a space for long dinners and late-night films, with Crittall doors and a lightwell drawing in daylight.

By evening, filament lighting and textured walls lend atmosphere. A guest bedroom with en suite sits quietly on this floor.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms include a tranquil principal suite with a window seat and a spa-like bathroom finished in calming greys.

Location There’s an easy-going community feel to North Kensington. Within walking distance of both Golborne and Portobello Road, there’s an array of independent businesses on the doorstep.

Shop for supplies at Golborne Deli & Wine Store, book lunch at Straker’s or enjoy pastries to go from Lisboa. Spend weekends browsing the neighbourhood’s renowned antique and vintage stalls.
