Set within a handsome red-brick Victorian building on Queen’s Gate, this exceptionally large two-bedroom apartment extends to about 1,524 sq ft and offers grand period proportions with high ceilings and substantial room sizes. The layout includes a generous reception room, separate eat-in kitchen, dining/entrance hall, two large bedrooms with good built-in storage and two bathrooms, one cleverly arranged as an en suite.
Practical benefits include lift access, a porter, share of freehold and an extremely long lease (c.948 years). The flat sits within a sought-after SW7 location moments from Kensington Gardens, museums, South Kensington and Gloucester Road transport links — ideal for families seeking space near top independent schools and cultural amenities.
Buyers should note this is a lower-ground apartment: natural light will be more limited than upper floors despite high ceilings. The building appears to have solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, and heating is provided by a community mains gas scheme. Service charges are above average at approximately £6,700 per year and local council tax is described as quite expensive.
This property will suit purchasers wanting large, characterful rooms in a prestigious central London location who are comfortable with communal service costs and the realities of a lower-ground floor apartment. There is clear potential to personalise or reconfigure the generous internal space while retaining original period detail.
