A substantial south-facing 3-bedroom, 3-bath apartment set on the 5th floor of a carefully restored Edwardian mansion in Kensington W8. At 1,738 sq ft the lateral layout gives generous reception space and high ceilings that maximise natural light across the living areas. The conversion is new and sold with a long lease (997 years) and a share of freehold.
Residents benefit from full concierge cover, a private landscaped courtyard and an on-site ‘All-Access Membership’ Peloton gym — rare amenities in central Kensington. The building’s period façade and elegant entrance lobby are retained, while interiors are presented in a contemporary style suited to owners seeking both classic character and modern convenience. EPC rating C.
Practical points to note: the service charge is high (circa £18,600.84 pa), broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are above average. Walls are likely solid brick with no insulation (as-built), and council tax is in an upper band. These factors should be weighed against the location, size and resident services when assessing value.
