A distinguished five-bedroom period terraced house on De Vere Gardens, set just steps from Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace. The property retains Edwardian and Victorian character: high ceilings, original parquet, exposed beams and a period fireplace that make the principal rooms bright and imposing. A balcony and access to a private communal courtyard add outdoor appeal in a location where private gardens are rare.
Sold freehold and offering about 1,540 sq ft across several floors, the house has planning consent previously granted to expand the attic level — a clear route to add usable space and value. The layout includes a grand double reception, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, giving flexibility for a large family home or a high-end refurbishment to suit a buyer seeking a bespoke finish.
The property is offered in need of complete renovation: works will be required throughout and buyers should allow budget and time for modernisation. The small plot size and urban setting mean outdoor space is limited. Council Tax is in a high band and local crime statistics are above average for the area; purchasers should factor these practical costs and considerations into their plans.
This is a rare opportunity to recreate a Kensington residence of substantial character in a premier central-London address. For a buyer prepared to undertake a full refurbishment and possibly extend into the attic (consent previously granted), the house provides an exceptional blank canvas with strong location-led upside.
