Spacious family home near top schools and excellent transport links.
Approximately 1,603 sq ft duplex with high ceilings and period features
Set over two levels in a handsome Victorian terrace, this newly renovated three-bedroom duplex feels generous and bright. High ceilings, tall windows and original period proportions combine with modern finishes for comfortable family living across approximately 1,603 sq ft. The accommodation includes a double reception, fitted kitchen, two bathrooms and a small private patio with direct access to attractive communal gardens.
Practical details favour long-term ownership: the property is leasehold with approximately 976 years remaining, mains gas boiler and radiators, and nominal ground rent. Service charges are around £2,000 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive. The flat is arranged over lower-ground and raised-ground levels, which suits families seeking separation of living and sleeping spaces.
Location is a major selling point. Hornton Street sits between Notting Hill Gate and High Street Kensington with excellent transport links, fast broadband and a wide choice of state and independent schools nearby. Local amenities include shops, cafes, restaurants and parks within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The area's recorded crime level is very high, which may affect parking, outdoor play or security costs. The building’s solid-brick Victorian construction likely has limited insulation compared with modern standards. Overall, this is a spacious period duplex in move-in condition, well placed for families who prioritise space, schools and central location but who will want to factor in service charges, local safety considerations and potential insulation improvements.
