Summary - Flat 40 Alexandra Court, 171-175, Queen's Gate SW7 5HQ
4 bed 4 bath Flat
Large period home in South Kensington, ready for family life.
2,185 sq ft — unusually large central London apartment
A rare, substantial apartment on Queen’s Gate offering 2,185 sq ft of elegant living in the heart of South Kensington. The apartment sits on the fifth floor (with lift) of an Edwardian mansion block and benefits from a resident porter, high ceilings, large windows and a bright southerly reception room ideal for entertaining.
The layout provides flexible family accommodation: a principal bedroom with en suite and built-in storage, two further double bedrooms with en suites, and a smaller fourth en suite room suitable as a bedroom, dressing room or home office. A well-equipped kitchen, separate dining room and generous circulation space give scope for family life and entertaining in central London.
Location is a principal strength — direct access to South Kensington’s museums, green space at Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park and excellent transport links from Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations. Highly regarded independent schools are within easy reach, making this attractive for families seeking central schooling options.
Buyers should note material running costs: a high annual service charge of £15,747 and a very expensive council tax banding. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than individual boilers, and the building’s original solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. There is no private garden; any outdoor space is communal and limited.
Overall this is a rare, well-proportioned central London apartment for buyers who prioritise location, room sizes and period character. It is move-in ready but carries higher ongoing costs and some building-level constraints worth factoring into long-term ownership plans.
