Set on the top floor of a portered mansion block on Kensington Park Road, this two-bedroom penthouse combines elegant period detail with considered contemporary finishes. Oak parquet floors, bespoke joinery and Carrara marble surfaces give the principal reception and kitchen a refined, lived-in feel. Large windows look towards Ladbroke Square Garden, and the building’s private access puts expansive green space and a tennis court on your doorstep.
The apartment’s layout suits couples or small families who value both entertaining and practical storage: a bright open-plan reception and dining room, a bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances and a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is configured with bespoke storage and bunk beds, making it flexible for guests, children or a home office. Underfloor heating in the shower room and quality fittings are practical touches that lift everyday comfort.
Practical considerations are clear and transparent. The property is sold as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease; ground rent is minimal. The building operates a community heating scheme and carries above-average service charges, reflecting porterage and communal services. The area is affluent and highly educated, but local crime statistics are above average and council tax levels are described as quite expensive.
This apartment will particularly appeal to buyers seeking Notting Hill living — close to Portobello Road, dining and boutique shopping — who appreciate turnkey style with room to personalise. It’s an attractive option for owner-occupiers who want private garden access and concierge amenities; investors should note the single shower room and service charge levels when assessing rental yield.
