Set opposite Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, this striking period apartment occupies the second floor of a grand early-20th-century building. High Georgian ceilings, sash windows, decorative mouldings and parquet floors give the principal reception room a formal, characterful presence with sweeping park views. Two balconies extend the living space and enhance the outlook.
The interior spans approximately 3,328 sq ft and is arranged as six bedrooms plus generous public rooms. The principal bedroom is wood‑panelled and has an en suite shower room; the listing describes en suite facilities to the additional bedrooms. Registered details record four bathrooms — confirm exact sanitary provision in the legal pack. The building benefits from a lift and porter service.
Practical points: the flat is leasehold, heating is mains‑gas boiler with radiators, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the original solid brick walls are likely without modern cavity insulation. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent. Buyers should note the local crime level is recorded as very high for this central location.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a large, characterful residence in an exceptionally central Kensington location, or an investor targeting high-end rental demand. Period charm is intact but there may be a need for targeted updating to services, insulation and to confirm bathroom/layout details.
