Spacious Edwardian duplex opposite Kensington Gardens with private patio garden.
Extremely large duplex apartment — approx. 2,014 sq ft
A substantial three-bedroom duplex occupying the raised ground and lower ground of an Edwardian terrace on Hyde Park Gate, directly opposite Kensington Gardens. At about 2,014 sq ft this apartment offers generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings and original period detail alongside carefully maintained modern‑classic fittings — a large drawing room, separate dining room, principal bedroom with dressing room and three bathrooms. The private patio garden provides a rare outdoor space in this prime central location.
This home suits a family or professional couple seeking easy access to green space and excellent transport links (High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations close by). The apartment’s scale and layout deliver reception space ideal for entertaining, while the bedrooms are arranged for privacy. The leasehold is exceptionally long (972 years) and the property is free from flood risk.
Buyers should note this is a lower/raised ground duplex within a period building: the lower level may receive less natural light than upper floors and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. Service charges are above average (£5,265 pa) and local council tax is described as very expensive — factor running costs into the purchase. Overall, this is a rare, large-period flat in one of central London’s most desirable streets, offering long-term security and excellent lifestyle credentials if you accept the maintenance and running-cost profile typical of a historic building.
