5 bed 1 bath Flat
Sun-filled duplex with private roof garden and sweeping city vistas.
Duplex penthouse with private york-stone roof garden and balcony access
Exceptionally large: approximately 5,332 sq ft across multiple levels
Five bedrooms but only one bathroom — potential layout constraint
Leasehold with 55 years remaining; lenders may refuse mortgages
Ground rent £900 pa and very expensive council tax — high running costs
Period building, timber frame walls assumed without insulation
Double glazing installed before 2002; potential window/efficiency upgrades
Excellent transport, fast broadband, and highly regarded nearby schools
Located on the top floors of Campden House, this duplex penthouse occupies an exceptionally large 5,332 sq ft footprint with five generous bedrooms and expansive reception space. Floor-to-ceiling light from large windows and high ceilings frames panoramic London views; the upper-level reception opens directly onto a private york-stone roof garden and balcony ideal for entertaining or outdoor relaxation.
The apartment combines modern fitted finishes — a contemporary kitchen with island and marble counters, double glazing, and open-plan living — with period building character. Practical features include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and convenient access to High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate tube stations. Local amenities and highly regarded schools are within easy reach, making the location highly convenient for family life in W8.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property is leasehold with only 55 years remaining — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Service charges, an expensive ground rent of £900 and very high council tax will add to ongoing costs. The building is timber-framed with presumed lack of insulation in the walls, and the glazing was installed before 2002, which may affect future upgrade needs and running costs.
This is a rare, sizable central Kensington duplex for a buyer seeking generous, light-filled living, significant entertaining space and dramatic city views. It suits families wanting space and proximity to central London, or buyers prepared to address lease extension and retrofit works to maximise long-term value.
