This substantial four-bedroom, four-bathroom period house occupies 2,125 sq ft in prime Kensington, offering generous living space across multiple floors. Original Georgian features — sash windows, high ceilings and a brick façade — combine with later upgrades such as double glazing (installed post-2002) to deliver classic character and modern comfort. The south-facing private patio and an integral garage are rare local assets and suit family life or a central London base.
The house is freehold and conveniently placed for Kensington High Street shops, cafes and transport links (Circle and District lines at High Street Kensington). Excellent local schools include two highly rated primaries and a mix of independent options nearby. Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are within easy reach for outdoor recreation.
Notable practical points: the building predates 1900 and the external walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, which may affect heating efficiency. Heating is via mains-gas boiler and radiators; council tax is high (Band H) and the area records a very high crime rate — these are important considerations for budgeting and security. Buyers should verify all measurements, services and any retrofit or insulation requirements prior to exchange.
This house suits buyers seeking a large, characterful London family home with strong location benefits and scope to improve thermal efficiency and personalise internal finishes. The mix of formal reception space, multiple bathrooms and private outside space makes it adaptable for growing families or professionals wanting a substantial central London residence.
