Set within a white-stuccoed Victorian townhouse on Kensington Park Road, this newly renovated duplex brings period detail and contemporary design together across two levels. At about 1,410 sq ft the layout places an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception on the ground floor, with principal and guest bedrooms plus a study/third room on the lower-ground floor. The apartment was reworked by Sey Studios and has been featured in Architectural Digest Italy, reflecting a considered, art-led finish throughout.
High ceilings, restored cornicing and original fireplace tiles preserve strong period character while engineered herringbone floors, a bespoke kitchen with Miele, Bosch and ILVE appliances, and underfloor heating provide modern comfort. The principal suite benefits from full-height wardrobes, an en suite and glass doors to a modest private patio. The scheme suits buyers who value design provenance, high-spec finishes and easy access to Notting Hill’s shops, restaurants and transport links.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold (long lease ~998 years), newly renovated and ready to occupy, but outdoor space is limited to a small front terrace rather than a substantial garden. Service charges are above average (circa £4,886) and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property occupies a mid-terrace Victorian build with solid brick walls (insulation assumed absent), which may be relevant for buyers sensitive to thermal performance or with plans for extensive alteration.
