A rare, spacious lateral apartment on the 2nd floor of a handsome Georgian Revival building in the heart of Kensington. The property offers an expansive double reception/dining room, a separate eat-in kitchen and four generously proportioned bedrooms with good built-in storage and high ceilings throughout. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, lift access, a private lock-up storage room and off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis.
The apartment's size and layout suit family living and entertaining — large reception space and separate family room create flexible living zones. Its favoured position in the building delivers excellent natural light and classical period proportions, with easy access to Holland Park, Kensington High Street amenities and nearby underground connections.
Buyers should note material constraints: the lease has about 35 years remaining, which may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering finance. The service charge is very high at approximately £26,481 per year, and council tax is in band H — both add significant ongoing costs. Parking is available but not guaranteed, being on a first-come basis.
This apartment will appeal to buyers seeking a prestigious, large Kensington home who can either buy outright or resolve short-lease financing. It presents immediate liveability with scope for modernisation, but the lease length and high annual service costs are key financial considerations.
