Set across the raised ground, first and second floors of a striking Victorian mid-terrace, this four-bedroom maisonette offers an unusually large footprint for central Kensington. Principal rooms have high ceilings, a generous bay-window reception, wood floors and contemporary fixtures, while a private entrance and a substantial roof terrace extend the living space outdoors. The layout suits family life or premium rental use.
The location is a major asset: Vicarage Gate sits between High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate, with quick access to Circle, District and Central lines. Kensington Gardens and Holland Park are a short walk away, and excellent local schools and amenities are close by. Modern comforts include underfloor heating served by a gas boiler, fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Buyers should note material running costs and maintenance characteristics. The property is Share of Freehold with 953 years remaining, but the annual service charge is £7,907 and Council Tax is in Band G — both above typical levels. The building is a period brick terrace (pre-1900) with solid walls likely lacking insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern stock and some upgrading could be beneficial.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented central Kensington maisonette that blends period character with contemporary finish. It will particularly suit families seeking large rooms and outdoor roof space, or investors targeting high-end Central London lettings — provided they budget for higher service charges and potential retrofit works.
