Large, bright three-bedroom flat with parking and porter near Holland Park.
1,404 sq ft three-bedroom first-floor apartment with high ceilings and great light
A spacious three-bedroom first-floor apartment in Duchess of Bedford House, set moments from Holland Park. At 1,404 sq ft the reception room benefits from high ceilings, large sash windows and abundant natural light, creating an airy family living and dining space. The separate, modern kitchen and two bathrooms support comfortable day-to-day life.
The block offers practical conveniences: a lift, porter and an allocated off-street parking space — rare for the area. The long lease (129 years) and solid brick construction reflect the building’s longevity and period character, while double glazing and built-in kitchen appliances deliver everyday comfort.
Buyers should note the material considerations: a high annual service charge (£15,310) and very expensive council tax which materially increase running costs. The building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation and some glazing dates from before 2002, so further thermal upgrades could be needed for improved efficiency. Local crime statistics are above average; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
This property suits families or professionals seeking substantial, well-proportioned accommodation in an affluent, inner-city Kensington location close to excellent primary schools and green space. It offers immediate liveability with sensible scope for energy and cosmetic improvements that would add value over time.
