Period character with a private roof terrace, close to Notting Hill Gate.
Duplex three-bedroom layout with private roof terrace
Set over two floors in a blonde-brick, stucco-lined terrace, this three-bedroom duplex blends Victorian proportions with contemporary finish. The main reception and dining space sits beneath an original plasterwork ceiling rose and beside tall sash windows, while honey-toned oak floors and a bespoke kitchen lend a refined, lived-in feel. A decked rooftop terrace provides a private outdoor room — a rare find in this part of Kensington.
The principal bedroom occupies the upper level as a discreet suite, with full-height wardrobes, a vanity nook and an elegant en suite with separate shower and roll-top bath. Two further bedrooms below are well-proportioned and share a modern shower room, making the layout practical for family life or for a combination of bedrooms and home-office. High-spec fittings include integrated appliances and underfloor heating on the main systems.
Practicalities are straightforward: the flat is leasehold (very long lease: 984 years), with an average service charge of £2,400 and mains gas central heating. The property was constructed before 1900 and has solid brick walls with internal insulation; double glazing is fitted though the installation date is unknown. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average and local council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider alongside the excellent transport links and neighbourhood amenities.
Situated between Notting Hill Gate and Kensington Gardens, the location offers immediate access to green space, independent schools and a broad choice of shops, cafés and restaurants. This apartment will suit buyers seeking characterful, centrally located family accommodation with turn-key presentation and a private roof terrace, while those prioritising very low running costs or a fully modernised building fabric should note the older construction and maintenance considerations.
