A spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Palace Place Mansions offering grand period proportions and contemporary finish. The flat was comprehensively refurbished in 2017–18 with wide-plank hardwood floors, natural marble, high-quality joinery and underfloor heating, creating an elegant, low-maintenance home ready to move into.
At 1,116 sqft the layout provides a generous reception/dining room with bay window and very high ceilings (up to 3.36m), plus two double bedroom suites and plentiful fitted storage. The westerly aspect delivers excellent afternoon and evening natural light, and a lift gives step-free access to the floor.
Location is a clear strength: under 200m from Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park, moments from High Street Kensington’s shops, restaurants and District & Circle line links. There are multiple well-regarded schools nearby and a wide range of local amenities for everyday life.
Practical points to note: the property is share-of-freehold with a long lease (c.973 years) but an above-average annual service charge (£6,300). EPC rating C and the building’s solid brick fabric mean insulation levels are limited relative to modern builds. Local crime statistics are very high and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors buyers should consider when assessing running costs and security needs.
