Summary - 47 ABINGDON VILLAS LONDON W8 6XA
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Spacious Victorian family home with garden, parking and development potential in W8..
Approx. 2,700 sq ft across four storeys
A substantial late‑Victorian terraced townhouse arranged over four storeys, offering about 2,700 sq ft of family living in a prime Kensington location. The house retains period character—high ceilings, bay windows and an ornate reception room—while providing practical benefits such as a private garden, rare off‑street parking and a spiral wine cellar off the kitchen/family area.
The layout currently provides a generous double reception, principal bedroom suite, three further bedrooms on the second floor and a lower‑ground bedroom with shower room. The lower‑ground space could be reconfigured to enlarge the kitchen and create a more informal family living area if desired. Planning permission for a new basement was granted in 2020 but has since lapsed; further development is possible subject to securing fresh consents.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is of solid brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, double glazing was installed post‑2002, and the property attracts very high council tax. The plot is narrow by central Kensington standards, so outdoor space is a modest garden rather than a large lawn.
Positioned parallel to Kensington High Street and close to Kensington Gardens, the house is well placed for High Street Kensington station and a strong cluster of independent and state schools. This is a family‑orientated central London townhouse that combines period charm with scope for reconfiguration or extension, depending on planning ambitions.
