Summary - ARUNDEL HOUSE, 98 FLAT 5 CORNWALL GARDENS LONDON SW7 4BQ
3 bed 3 bath Apartment
Spacious period home near Hyde Park and top schools.
Approx 1,802 sq ft of duplex living space
A rare, grand three-bedroom duplex occupying approximately 1,802 sq ft in the heart of South Kensington. The raised ground reception room showcases high ceilings, tall sash windows and original period detail, while the principal suite benefits from bespoke wardrobes and a limestone-clad en-suite. The lower-ground floor offers an open-plan reception/dining area, well-appointed kitchen, utility and storage rooms, plus a small private patio — well suited for family life and entertaining.
This home combines timeless Victorian character with contemporary fittings and generous proportions across two levels. Its central SW7 position places boutiques, cafés, Gloucester Road and Hyde Park within easy walking distance, and several highly regarded independent schools are nearby — a clear draw for families seeking central London living.
Buyers should note significant practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with only around 72 years remaining, which may prevent most mortgage lenders from lending and will materially affect resale and value. The service charge is circa £5,250 per year and council tax is in band G, reflecting higher ongoing costs. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely has limited cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for maintenance or improvement work.
Subject to the leasehold and running-costs constraints, this duplex offers exceptional space and period character in a prime location. It will suit a buyer prioritising size, proximity to top schools and central amenities, and who understands the implications of a shorter lease and above-average service costs.
