Set within a distinguished Victorian terrace just south of Kensington Gardens, this spacious 4-bedroom apartment offers grand lateral living across 2,427 sqft (226 sqm). The raised ground and lower ground layout delivers impressive 3.28 m ceiling heights, generous reception and dining rooms and a bright westerly aspect with private front and rear patios—ideal for family living and entertaining. The property was comprehensively refurbished in 2019 to a high standard with polished oak floors, bespoke Miele-fitted kitchen, and underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathrooms.
The principal suite is arranged on the lower level with a dressing room and en suite bath and shower; three further bedrooms, an additional en suite, family bathroom and utility space complete the accommodation. Practical positives include a very long lease, share of freehold tenure, no flood risk and good local transport links (High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road). EPC rating C and mains gas boiler with radiators provide standard energy and heating provisioning.
Buyers should note material costs of occupation: an annual service charge of £10,771 and very expensive council tax are stated. The building’s solid-brick Victorian construction offers character but limited intrinsic insulation (typical of pre-1900 build), so future buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance or retrofit if higher thermal performance is required. Overall, this is a rare, family-sized lateral London home in one of SW7’s most desirable pockets, best suited to buyers seeking a large, elegant residence near the parks and top schools.
