An impressive lateral apartment offering over 2,200 sq ft of elegant living in the redbrick Kensington Mansions. Positioned on the third floor with lift access, the home combines period proportions — high ceilings and detailed cornicing — with contemporary finishes and a bright 41ft reception/dining space that opens via French doors to a full-width balcony overlooking communal gardens.
The principal suite is tucked to the rear for privacy, with generous wardrobe storage and an en suite. Three further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms provide genuine family flexibility. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped around a central island, making the layout practical for everyday family life and for entertaining on a large scale.
Practical benefits include a porter, residents’ access to well-kept communal gardens, double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and an exceptionally long lease with share of freehold. Transport links are strong via Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court stations, with Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens close by.
Notable considerations: the area records very high local crime levels and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which may affect running costs despite double glazing and gas heating. Overall this is a large, well-presented family apartment in a sought-after central location, best suited to buyers prioritising space, period character and convenient city living.
