The principal suite occupies the entire second floor, while a raised ground open-plan kitchen flows into a conservatory for informal gatherings.
Practical family features include six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a lower-ground gym, utility room and three pavement vaults for storage. The house benefits from air conditioning on the upper floors, a south-facing balcony from the drawing room and an additional front entrance useful for guests or staff. At c.3,968 sq ft and freehold, it provides substantial space in a central Kensington location close to top independent schools and the green spaces of Kensington Palace Gardens and Hyde Park.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status (Grade II*) — any alterations will face statutory restrictions and will cause difficulties during refurbishment. Council tax is very expensive, reflecting the property’s size and postcode. The accommodation is large and well-presented but will require listed-building‑sensitive maintenance and possible specialist consents for changes.
Overall, this townhouse suits a buyer seeking an architecturally distinguished, family-sized London home with strong school links and formal entertaining spaces. It offers significant room for tailored refurbishment within the constraints of its protected status, delivering a rare combination of period character and central Kensington convenience.
