Set across the raised ground and first floors of an impressive period building on the Phillimore Estate, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (c.1,191 sq ft) and a rare private entrance. Large windows on three aspects flood the rooms with light and frame leafy views over the communal gardens, creating an airy, townhouse-like feel in a central Kensington location.
The layout is well balanced for everyday life and entertaining: a large reception room with direct access to the residents’ garden, a separate kitchen, a newly refitted shower room and an additional bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys garden-facing views; the second bedroom provides flexible use as a guest room or home office.
Practical details to note: the apartment is leasehold with 116 years remaining, the EPC rating is E and the building’s solid-brick construction likely needs energy upgrades (insulation and glazing improvements) to improve efficiency. Service charges are around £5,000 per year (above average), and local recorded crime rates are above average for the area.
Phillimore Gardens sits between Duchess of Bedford Walk and Kensington High Street, moments from shops, restaurants and transport (Circle and District lines). Holland Park’s open spaces and several well-regarded schools are within easy reach, making this a well-located home for those seeking spacious period accommodation with private outdoor access.
This apartment will suit buyers who value light, proportion and location and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and factor in higher service costs.
