- Grade II listed building; restrictions on alterations
- Long lease remaining (977 years) but listed status complicates works

Set across two levels in a Grade II listed townhouse, this 2,724 sq ft duplex offers substantial family living in the heart of South Kensington. The ground floor presents an exceptionally large double reception with broad bay windows, high decorative ceilings and original panelling, flowing to a fitted kitchen with central island. Four double bedrooms, each with ensuite facilities, occupy the lower ground floor, together with a TV room and a private rear patio with decking.
Comfort and convenience are clear strengths: contemporary interiors, air conditioning and radiant underfloor heating combine with double glazing installed after 2002. The location is outstanding — between Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations with easy access to Kensington Gardens, museums and top independent schools.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate permissions. The property is leasehold (long lease remaining) and attracts a high service charge and relatively expensive council tax. The solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrades may be limited and could require listed-building consent.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a grand, central London home with period character and modern comfort, and those prepared to accept the responsibilities and constraints that come with a listed, centrally located leasehold property.
