This one-bedroom penthouse occupies the top floors of an iconic 1930s Art Deco block in central Kensington, offering a private roof terrace and elevated skyline views. The interior is architect-designed with timber floors, integrated storage and a clean, contemporary finish suitable for a single professional or buyer seeking a low-maintenance city pied-à-terre.
Light fills the triple-aspect reception on the upper level where French doors open to terraces and a compact balcony. The principal bedroom suite below includes a bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, making the layout feel more like a duplex maisonette than a typical flat. Communal services include a porter, lift and a community heating scheme.
Practical details strengthen the title: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (992 years). The property is relatively small for a penthouse (around 683 sq ft) and sits in a busy, inner-city neighbourhood with high local crime statistics — factors to weigh for full-time residents. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown, and the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation.
Close proximity to Notting Hill Gate station, Kensington Gardens and plentiful local amenities gives this flat strong location appeal. The combination of period character, a private terrace and a central W8 address will attract professionals, investors and buyers wanting a high-profile London base, but those seeking larger living space or quieter streets may prefer other Kensington options.
