A handsome yellow-brick and stucco façade characterises Manson Place, a serene Victorian mansion block just moments from South Kensington’s vibrant heart. Beyond the decorative cornicing and colonnaded entrance – hallmarks of the building’s period heritage – this fifth-floor, two-bedroom apartment paints a thoroughly modern picture.The open-plan reception room is defined by a series of large skylight windows set into the angled roofline, illuminating the plan and its neutral tonal scheme. The living area is anchored by a full-width oak shelving unit, giving the space a warm library-like register against the pale walls and grey carpet. A sofa and dining table sit in easy conversation to one another beneath the sloped ceiling overhead.At the other end of the room, the kitchen is fitted with handleless white cabinetry, a dark mirrored splashback and smooth stone worktops. Appliances are seamlessly integrated for a streamlined culinary set-up.The tranquil atmosphere continues in the principal bedroom suite. Built-in mirrored wardrobes span one wall, while a sleek window draws in the natural light. The en suite bathroom is finished with oversized tiling that wraps around a rainfall shower. A guest bedroom enjoys a full-height upholstered headboard, and views across the surrounding Victorian streetscape through the window. A separate bathroom is accessed across the corridor, with a darker material palette across the bathtub and chrome radiator.LocationCharacterised by residential streets and period architecture, South Kensington is a peaceful community with a central London postcode. The city’s most revered museums are found along Exhibition Road, complemented by a host of celebrated local restaurants: Macellaio RC, Cambio De Tercio, Yashin Ocean House and Margaux are just minutes from your front door. In 20 minutes, you’re at Brompton Cemetery – one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds that’s ideal for leisurely weekend strolls.
