Set within a handsome Edwardian mansion block on Queen’s Gate, this large fourth-floor flat offers grand, family-sized rooms and authentic period detail. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and large sash windows create a bright, elegant reception ideal for entertaining and daily family life. The apartment is quietly positioned within the block and benefits from lift access, a porter and 24-hour security for practical, secure living in South Kensington.
The layout provides three double bedrooms and two shower rooms (one en suite), a generous entrance hall and a kitchen/breakfast room across approximately 1,597 sq ft. The long lease (948 years) and share of freehold provide ownership security, while South Kensington station, museums, shops and schools are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of around £17,585 and a high council tax band will significantly increase ongoing expenditure. Heating and hot water are supplied via a community gas scheme, and the building’s solid brick construction likely has limited insulation compared with modern standards.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home in a prime central-London location. It suits purchasers prioritising period proportions, location and security who understand the premium service and tax costs that come with a well-serviced mansion block in South Kensington.
