Summary - 8 BERKELEY GARDENS, LONDON W8 4AP
5 bed 6 bath Terraced
High-ceilinged period home with modern systems and private terraces, ideal for family life.
Prime Kensington mid-terrace with five bedrooms and six bathrooms
Set on a prime Kensington street, this elegant five-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse combines period proportions with high-end contemporary finishes. Exceptional 3.07m ceiling heights on the ground and first floors create light, airy reception spaces finished with Molteni and Minotti furnishings. The layout includes a south-facing first-floor balcony, private rear terrace with built-in wine bar, and a lower-ground cinema-ready room, offering flexible family living and entertaining space across five storeys.
The specification is a strong selling point: zoned underfloor heating, air conditioning, Lutron lighting, Cat6 wiring, multi-room audio, CCTV, video entry and an Automist fire system. The property extends to approximately 2,754 sq ft and is offered freehold, positioned between Notting Hill Gate and High Street Kensington with easy access to parks, boutiques and transport links.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the house is a period mid-terrace constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, and it sits on a small plot typical of central London. Council tax is very expensive for the band and the local recorded crime level is high — factors to weigh for families and long-term owners despite the affluent area and excellent connectivity.
This home will suit buyers seeking a high-spec, centrally located family residence or a professional household wanting turnkey presentation with room for personalisation. Its combination of character features, contemporary systems and entertaining terraces make it exceptional for Kensington living, while the thermal and running-cost considerations reflect the realities of older central London townhouses.
