A striking split-level penthouse in W8 offering an exceptionally large 3,007 sq ft of contemporary living space across multiple levels. Light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows into voluminous entertaining rooms; the top floor is dedicated to a dramatic entertaining area with a bar, outdoor kitchen and an enormous wrap-around terrace with panoramic Kensington views. Two generous double bedrooms both have en-suite bathrooms with double showers and jacuzzi-style baths, providing private, hotel-like comfort.
Practical benefits include two secure underground parking spaces, a separate storage unit and a utility room. The building was constructed 2007–2011, has double glazing and runs on a community heating scheme with mains gas. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the location places you close to top-rated schools, shops and transport in an affluent inner-city neighbourhood.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (very long lease remaining: 983 years) but carries a very high service charge of £18,000 per year and a very expensive council tax band — factor ongoing costs into affordability. Crime is average for central London. The layout is generous for a two-bedroom apartment; buyers should note the home is optimised for entertaining rather than maximising bedroom count.
This property will suit purchasers seeking a showpiece urban home or pied-à-terre with significant private outdoor space and secure parking, and who are comfortable with substantial annual service and tax costs. It also offers potential for bespoke interior reconfiguration if a different room mix is required.
