About this property

Royal Borough Refinement, by Veeve

This elegant 3-bedroom Victorian townhouse for short term rental in Kensington pairs timeless style with flexible living across multiple floors, plus a study and roof terrace, all moments from Kensington High Street and within easy walking distance of parks and museums.

Set in one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, this classic and elegant 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Victorian townhouse offers a refined base in Kensington, just moments from the High Street. With Holland Park and Kensington Gardens within walking distance, and the South Kensington museums close by too, the location is ideal for guests looking to enjoy culture, green space, and some of the city’s best shopping and dining. Excellent transport links allow for quick and easy access to all London has to offer, such as Buckingham Palace, Harrods and Piccadilly, with Fortnum & Mason and its iconic arcades.

Inside, the hallway opens into a welcoming kitchen and dining area, fully equipped for comfortable stays and social meals. A dining table for six makes gathering easy, while an adjoining sitting area with a sofa and flat-screen smart TV creates a relaxed space to wind down.

To the rear of the house, a quiet study provides a dedicated workspace with a desk, and opens out onto a small terrace, offering a private spot for fresh air. Next door is a bathroom with a walk-in shower, single sink, and WC. Practicalities are neatly handled with a small utility room opposite, featuring a stacked washer/dryer.

On the first-floor landing, the first bedroom features a double bed with luxury Vispring mattress, with a bathroom next door fitted with a bathtub and overhead shower, single sink, and WC.

A few stairs up, the home opens into an elegant living room with two sofas, perfect for evenings in or relaxed afternoons. Adjoining the living room is a bedroom featuring a smart UK king size pull-down Murphy bed, offering flexibility for different groups and layouts.

Continue up to the second-floor landing, where you will find access to a roof terrace with outdoor furniture and views over surrounding area, a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee or an evening drink in the open air.

A few more stairs lead to the spacious master suite, boasting a super-king bed with Vispring mattress, generous storage, and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, sink, and WC, creating a peaceful, private retreat at the top of the house.

With its Victorian charm, flexible bedroom setup, and rare outdoor spaces, this Kensington townhouse makes an exceptional short-term rental for families, friends, or extended stays in a truly prime London location.
