The layout includes two generous reception rooms, a separate eat-in kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, each principal room enjoying tall French doors and a private balcony. High ceilings, period mouldings and a decorative fireplace underline the apartment’s original character.
Practical conveniences include 24-hour concierge, lift access and a share of freehold. The building’s central SW7 location places Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Gardens and excellent independent schools moments away, with South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations within easy reach. The flat’s scale and layout suit an established couple or small family seeking space and close proximity to cultural amenities.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status: alterations will be restricted and may require listed‑building consent, which can complicate modernization. Service charges are substantial (circa £10,000 pa) and the local reported crime level is above average; these are important ownership costs and considerations. The property presents strong lifestyle and rental appeal but limited scope for major structural change.
Overall this is a rare, characterful lateral residence in one of Kensington’s most prestigious mansion blocks — ideal for buyers prioritising location, space and period detail, who are comfortable with listed‑building constraints and higher running costs.
