Set on the fourth floor of a handsome stucco-fronted Victorian building in South Kensington, this newly renovated lateral penthouse blends period character with contemporary finish. Vaulted 3.5m ceilings and a triple-window reception create a dramatic, light-filled living space centred on an ornate fireplace and herringbone-style floors. French doors open to an undemised roof terrace with far-reaching rooftop views. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with premium integrated appliances and marble-finish worktops, plus its own terrace access.
The principal bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear with pleasant garden-square views, generous built-in wardrobes and a sleek en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a separate family bathroom make this apartment suitable for a family, professionals sharing, or buyers seeking a high-spec pied-à-terre. Lift access to the floor, a communal garden and excellent transport links (South Kensington Underground) add daily convenience.
Practical matters are straightforward: the lease has about 113 years remaining and the property benefits from modern heating via mains gas boiler and radiators. Broadband and mobile signals are strong in this area, and the property is presented in move-in condition following a meticulous refurbishment.
Notable considerations: the terraces are undemised roof spaces rather than freehold private gardens; the building’s solid brick walls date from before 1900 and are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation; council tax in the borough is high. These factual points should be factored into running-cost and long-term-energy considerations.
