Penthouse in Grade II listed building in Kensington
This penthouse occupies the top two levels of a 6 storey building, the 6th storey being the new mansard roof extension. It is a complete refurbishment and re-design of a three bedroom apartment. Two of the bedrooms, which are the children’s rooms, have an interconnecting sliding partition which makes it possible to make it one big room instead of two rooms.
The main features of this refurbishment are the slide-away rooflight and the oak staircase. CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE IT.
