A rare, extremely large duplex penthouse in Campden House, Sheffield Terrace, offers expansive living across approximately 5,067 sq ft. The upper-level principal reception opens onto a private york-stone roof terrace with panoramic city views—an exceptional entertaining and relaxation space. Large windows and high ceilings fill the apartments’ generously proportioned rooms with natural light; modern kitchen and refined finishes complete the primary living spaces.
Set in central Kensington (W8), the location gives direct access to High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate, excellent local schools, shopping and dining. The building includes a lift and a communal garden, combining period character with contemporary living — ideal for a family seeking space and centrality or an owner-occupier looking for a standout city home.
Buyers should note important leasehold and cost details: the lease has approximately 56 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability and affect valuation. Ground rent is high at £900 and council tax is very expensive; purchasers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice before progressing. The building dates from before 1900 and has timber-frame walls (assumed no insulation) which may require ongoing maintenance or upgrading.
Other practical points: crime in the local area is reported above average for the borough, though the immediate neighbourhood is very affluent and well-served by amenities and transport. Confirmations on some property particulars have not been received; interested parties should verify all material information, including lease details, service charges and structural records.
