New developments in prime Kensington are far and few between so when something new does launch here, there is always going to be a lot of hype and attention. St Edward’s Homes large-scale development called 375 Kensington High Street is a truly top-end property development, most notably for winning the Evening Standard’s prestigious Best Home of 2014 recently.
Arranged over six buildings, 375 Kensington High Street is at the very forefront of modern elegance. The accommodation available includes sleek studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments and a selection of luxurious penthouses which have all been designed to the highest standards.
Once you enter the apartments, you get a real sense of wow factor with beautiful open-plan receptions featuring floor to ceiling windows and private balconies, fully-integrated kitchens designed by Küppersbusch with stainless steel appliances and stone work surfaces. Principal rooms also enjoy underfloor heating and comfort cooling, integrated media systems and polished wide-plank wood floors with some apartments enjoying amazing views across the London skyline.
Of course, it’s not just the interiors of the apartments that are impressive. Everything at 375 Kensington High Street has been designed with the emphasis on providing the very best that a 21st century lifestyle has to offer. There is a 24-hour concierge provided by Harrods, ready to cater to your every need, whether that is the booking of theatre tickets or simply providing you with local information and services. Residents also can take advantage of the underground car park and enjoy the manicured landscaped gardens.
The development has a well-equipped gym, sauna and swimming pool providing you with the perfect way to relax after a hard day’s work. There is even a business suite for residents to use for meetings and a private screening room to watch your own movie in the residents-only on-site cinema.
We haven’t even touched on the surrounding areas yet, but they’re some of the most sought-after in London. Everything that’s good about London is right on your doorstep. Kensington provides plenty of boutiques, shops and fine-dining restaurants and other amenities such as Kensington Palace and Kensington Gardens. If you fancy a scenic stroll, Holland Park is 100 yards away.
Nearby areas such as Chelsea and Belgravia are less than 2 miles away where you will find even more eclectic shops and fine restaurants. Then there is the West End, where you can take in a theatre visit or stop off at Bond Street for some serious retail therapy and just a short taxi ride away is Knightsbridge, hosting two of the world’s most famous department stores, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
