The Bedrooms
The second floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite, including a walk-in wardrobe and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Meanwhile, the third floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The Design
The house is unusually wide given its size, while the interior spaces are lofty and well lit. In addition, the rooms at the front benefit from glorious west-facing views over the garden square and the city beyond. Most of these rooms are decorated in a traditional style to suit the history of the property, but with the potential to be updated for modern living.

Outdoor Spaces
The property benefits from a generous rear garden, with enough space for outdoor dining, as well as access to the second property at the far end of the garden. In addition, the house contains a front garden separating it from the street, while residents can also access the private garden square opposite. Finally, the first floor includes a front balcony and a large roof terrace looking out over the garden.
Hillsleigh Road Cottage
Almost unique for this square, the property includes the mews-like house at the rear of the garden. This is unlisted, and consists of a reception room on the ground floor with a next-door kitchen. The first floor includes an ensuite bedroom and a guest bathroom, while the third floor has an additional bedroom with an unusually wide window overlooking the garden.
The Neighbourhood
Campden Hill Square is one of the most historic squares in the neighbourhood, dating back to 1832. Celebrated residents have included the religious writer Evelyn Underhill and the war poet Siegfried Sassoon. The square is a short walk away from Holland Park underground station, and the open spaces of Holland Park itself. In addition, the restaurants of Notting Hill are nearby, as well as the exclusive shops of Kensington High Street. The area is all well-served with independent schools.
