Set in an imposing Victorian building directly opposite Hyde Park, this second-floor residence offers grand proportions and classic period detail across 3,019 sq ft. High ceilings, original fireplaces and tall windows create a dramatic reception space with a formal dining area and French doors opening to a private balcony with park views. The layout includes five generous double bedrooms, each with an en-suite, suited to families or buyers seeking private guest or staff accommodation.
Practical living is well-provided for: a stylish fitted kitchen, separate utility room, lift access and a porter. The apartment benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via a mains boiler and radiators. Off-street parking is available and High Street Kensington station, shops and restaurants are moments away, while highly regarded independent and state schools sit locally.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and sits in an area reported as having very high recorded crime rates. The building is of solid brick construction predating 1900 and shows traditional construction without assumed cavity insulation. Prospective buyers should check lease length, service charges and insurance costs, and factor any conservatory/heritage restrictions or retrofit work when budgeting.
This apartment will appeal to buyers seeking a prestigious Kensington address, exceptional entertaining rooms and ready-to-use bedroom accommodation. It represents a rare opportunity to own a substantial, period property with direct park aspects, but requires informed due diligence on tenure, running costs and any retrofit or refurbishment needed to modernise fabric and services.
