Set within a grand double-fronted Victorian building on Phillimore Gardens, this exceptionally large first-floor apartment offers about 1,361 sq ft of lateral living with high ceilings and generous rooms. The open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area features a handsome bay window and receives strong west-facing natural light. The finish is newly refurbished throughout, with contemporary fittings, herringbone floors and a marble fireplace that complement the building’s period proportions.
The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there is a second bedroom currently used as a study plus a separate shower room and utility room. Ample built-in storage and thoughtful room planning make this layout work well for a family or professionals seeking space for flexible working. A private lock-up garage and access to well-kept communal gardens are notable extras for central London living.
Practical points to note: the property is held on a share of freehold with 96 years remaining on the lease. Service charges are around £6,000 per year (above average) and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated), which, together with an EPC rating of C, may mean higher heating costs than newer stock.
This apartment suits buyers who value generous proportions, period character and a high-quality contemporary refurbishment in a prime Kensington location, and who can accommodate the ongoing service and running costs associated with central London period buildings.
