_The Arts House - a new prestige development with artistic connections in South Kensington

As prime central London prestige developments go, South Kensington's The Arts House grand restoration project cuts a fine figure in the heart of SW7. 

A master exercise in place re-making, developers have gone to town on this big prestige restoration project of a trio of faded period buildings on the corner of Southwell Gardens and Gloucester Road - formerly operating as a hostel.

The upshot is an upscale collection of eleven high specification apartments and one low rise town house carved from the original buildings and sitting behind handsome stucco facades.

The period features are all there for those that like their mod cons sitting cheek by jowl with the historic; grand Georgian facades have been sympathetically revived, with apartments featuring exceptionally high ceilings, elaborate cornicing and original fireplaces.

Contemporary advantages include ‘penthouse’ style lifts delivering you right inside your own private space and razor sharp home technology has been maximized to enhance The Arts House experience. 

Guests can be buzzed in through an iPad CCTV system or IPhone, 4K ready Apple TVs maximise viewing experience and Sonos speakers and high speed modems have already been installed. 

Internally, there are bespoke fitted kitchens with integrated Miele appliances, custom Neolith stone worktops and islands, marble clad bathrooms and comfort cooling in the living areas and bedrooms. 

The Arts House sits in one of London's most culturally relevant boroughs with world famous temples to art, science and music  - The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Academy of Music, The V&A and The Science Museum, clustered around South Kensington.

In celebration of the area's cultural heritage, developers have partnered with two promising new artists from The Royal College of Art - a short walk from the The Arts House - to celebrate the launch with artwork inspired by the development featured in key areas.

Residents have access to a 24-hour concierge with a virtual service available outside of daytime hours. 

Gloucester Road tube station can be reached within five minutes, with vibrant Kensington High Street and the Kings Road within walking distance. 

These apartments are ideal for families needing to be close the Lycée Francais Charles de Gaulle or Imperial College, both just a few minutes’ walk from the development.
