Summary - Allen House, Kensington, W8 W8 6BH
3 bed 3 bath Penthouse
Large lateral apartment with two private terraces and concierge living.
3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 2,103 sq ft of lateral living
This exceptional three-bedroom penthouse occupies 2,103 sq ft across the top of a newly restored period conversion in central Kensington. Two private roof terraces and two generous reception rooms create flexible entertaining and family zones, while high-quality finishes and an EPC B rating offer modern comfort in a classic building. Residents have access to a Peloton-equipped gym and 24-hour concierge, with coveted RBKC parking permits available for most apartments.
The property is sold on leasehold with a share of freehold and around 997 years remaining, providing long-term ownership security. It is ready for immediate occupation and sits approximately 0.2 miles from High Street Kensington station, placing shops, restaurants and green spaces within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the annual service charge is significant (circa £11,253.84), council tax is very expensive, and communal broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The building retains solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) typical of its period, which may affect thermal performance and future upgrade costs.
Overall this penthouse suits buyers seeking substantial lateral space and terrace living in a prime London location, with the balance of period character and contemporary amenities. It represents a rare, move-in-ready opportunity in Kensington, with potential to personalise interiors and improve energy performance over time.
