4 bed terraced house for sale

Balliol Road, North Kensington W10

Inside, the sense of volume is immediate. An expansive footprint gives rare lateral space at ground level, where an open-plan reception room and kitchen has been carefully choreographed for both everyday living and entertaining. Period details – ornate cornicing and a fireplace – provide a refined backdrop, while a fearless use of colour and texture brings the space vividly to life.

The reception area is unapologetically expressive. Rich, saturated tones and layered patterns create a sense of warmth and personality, balanced by natural materials and soft furnishings that invite you to settle in. This is a home that embraces individuality – bold yet considered, vibrant yet cohesive.

The kitchen is equally striking. Cabinetry in a soft mint hue is set against a backdrop of deep lapis-toned Moroccan tiles, creating a dynamic interplay of colour and light. Open shelving and skylights above draw the eye upward, allowing daylight to spill across the space, while a traditional butler sink and range cooker root the design in timeless practicality. Oversized diamond-pattern floor tiles run underfoot, grounding the scheme with texture and scale.

To the rear, the house opens into a dramatic conservatory extension. Framed in glass and flooded with natural light, this space blurs the boundary between inside and out. Bi-fold doors dissolve entirely in warmer months, revealing a lush, private garden where mature planting and a paved dining terrace create an effortless setting for long, sociable gatherings.

Upstairs, a continuous wall of exposed brickwork draws the eye along the first-floor corridor. Here, a light-filled office provides a calm, focused workspace, while a separate laundry room adds a layer of practical convenience. Towards the rear, a serene bedroom suite overlooks the garden, where large windows invite in soft natural light. Built-in wardrobes are neatly incorporated, maintaining the room’s sense of openness. Adjacent, an en suite bathroom is finished with a sleek tiling.

The spacious principal bedroom is an elegant retreat, with ornate cornicing and painted timber flooring. Extensive built-in storage ensures a sense of order, while the eye is naturally drawn to the in-room en suite bathroom – featuring a sculptural freestanding bathtub positioned beneath a large sash window.

As you reach the top floor, a skylight above the stairwell draws daylight deep into the home, enhancing the sense of brightness throughout. One bedroom is set within the vaulted eaves – a remarkably bright setting, with a row of windows seamlessly integrated into the angled roof. A short flight of steps leads to the fourth bedroom, a charming retreat tucked into the uppermost level. Clever eaves storage maximises functionality, while an en suite bathroom is finished with vivid pink metro tiling.
