Summary - 27 FLAT 1 KENSINGTON GATE LONDON W8 5NA
6 bed 5 bath Town House
Spacious, elegant family home moments from Hyde Park and top schools.
Grade II* listed white stucco townhouse with classical detailing
Set on the northern terrace of Kensington Gate, this Grade II* listed white stucco townhouse offers grand period proportions across nearly 4,000 sq ft. High ceilings, tall sash windows and classical detailing create impressive formal rooms, while a south-facing balcony and views over the communal gardens add calm and privacy in the heart of W8.
The house balances formal entertaining and family living: a double drawing room with over 3.6m ceilings, a raised-ground open-plan kitchen and dining area flowing to a conservatory, and a principal suite occupying the entire second floor with separate dressing room. The lower ground currently provides flexible accommodation — two bedrooms, two shower rooms, utility and a gym — and three pavement vaults offer valuable storage.
All upper-floor bedrooms have air conditioning; the location places you moments from Kensington High Street, Gloucester Road and renowned schools such as Thomas’s and the Lycée Français. Kensington Palace Gardens and Hyde Park are a short walk away, and local amenities and transport links are excellent.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II* listed status will limit alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extension. Council tax is very expensive and upkeep for a house of this scale and listed fabric will be significant. The layout is large but may require updating to suit contemporary family or staff arrangements.
