Summary - Vicarage Gate, London W8 4HH
4 bed 3 bath Flat
Large four-bedroom home near Kensington Gardens and High Street amenities.
Large first-floor flat with private lift entrance
Spacious and quietly located on a cul-de-sac off Kensington Church Street, this first-floor residence (with private lift) delivers rare volume in central Kensington. At 2,367 sq ft with high ceilings and tall windows, the home feels bright and airy; principal living rooms are generous and arranged for formal entertaining and family life. The property includes four double bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a guest WC, a large sunken reception, balcony and separate basement storage — practical assets for a city home.
Practical fittings include mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, double glazing and an exceptionally long lease with share of freehold. The location is a primary draw: Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Holland Park are all within easy reach, with Kensington High Street and Circle & District tube services close by. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent for working from home or streaming.
Notable costs and fabric notes are straightforward. The service charge is high at £9,450 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive — important for budgeting. Records list construction in 1967–1975 and cavity walls without added insulation are noted, which could affect thermal performance and future retrofit costs. Buyers seeking a move-in-fresh period home should check the age/style discrepancies in the brochure imagery and building records.
Overall this is a substantial Kensington property suited to families or buyers seeking comfortable, elegant living space with strong location appeal. Its size, layout and transport/park access create enduring lifestyle value; the service charge and potential thermal upgrade work are the main financial and practical considerations to factor into any offer.
