Circa 1,700 sq ft of living space — unusually large for Kensington
A rare, oversized 3-bedroom apartment occupying around 1,700 sq ft on the third floor of a portered Georgian Revival block just off High Street Kensington. The flat offers an enormous double/triple reception and separate kitchen with breakfast bar, plus three double bedrooms, two en‑suites, a family bathroom and guest cloakroom — generous family or entertaining space in a prime Central London address.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 900 years) with share of freehold, a communal heating scheme and the security and convenience of a porter. Holland Park is a five‑minute walk away, Kensington Olympia and local shops, cafés and restaurants are on the doorstep, and several highly regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
The building dates from the 1930s–40s and has solid brick construction; buyers should note likely thermal and acoustic performance is typical of older stock and may benefit from upgrading. Service charge is to be confirmed and council tax is in Band G (quite expensive). The area records higher crime rates and parts of the neighbourhood are relatively deprived compared with some nearby wards — important considerations for buyers seeking quieter streets.
This property suits a family wanting large, flexible living and entertaining space in central Kensington, or a purchaser seeking a substantial pied-à-terre with strong local amenities. It will appeal to buyers who prize location and scale and who are comfortable planning cosmetic or thermal-improvement works rather than a full structural overhaul.
