Summary - Stanhope Gardens, SW7 SW7 5QX
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
First-floor period apartment with high ceilings, balcony and terrace in SW7.
Full-width balcony and large south-facing terrace
Set on the piano nobile of a white stucco Grade II listed terrace in South Kensington, this two-bedroom apartment pairs generous period proportions with contemporary comfort. The open-plan reception, kitchen and dining room benefits from 3.6 m ceilings, floor-to-ceiling French doors and a full-width balcony, delivering excellent natural light and leafy street views. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower; the second double opens onto a large south-facing terrace and includes plumbing for a potential additional bathroom.
Finished with herringbone/parquet floors and underfloor heating throughout, the apartment retains ornate cornicing and a feature fireplace while providing practical storage and a utility cupboard. At about 954 sq ft, the layout suits a family seeking substantial single-floor living in a highly sought-after central location or a high-value Kensington pied-à-terre.
Important pragmatic notes: the flat is leasehold with 109 years remaining, a substantial average service charge (£3,667) and relatively high council tax. The property’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate some refurbishment plans. Local crime levels are recorded as very high; buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
Stanhope Gardens delivers immediate access to Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations (Piccadilly, Circle and District lines), Hyde Park and the museums of Exhibition Road, plus an extensive local mix of shops, cafés and schools. For buyers prioritising location, character and spacious first-floor volumes, this apartment offers a rare combination — provided you accept the listed-status constraints and running costs.
