Summary - Flat J, 39-40 Emperors Gate SW7 4HJ
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful two-bed with exceptional outdoor terrace and central location.
Private large rooftop terrace with 360-degree London views
A bright two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse in a quiet Emperors Gate terrace, offering rare private rooftop decking and wide London views. The flat is south-facing and benefits from generous natural light, high Victorian ceilings and period bay windows that give a strong sense of space and character.
Practical advantages include a share of freehold, a long lease (93 years remaining) and a very low service charge. The property sits within easy walking distance of Hyde Park and Gloucester Road station, with excellent local amenities and several well-regarded independent schools close by — convenient for families wanting inner‑city living.
Buyers should note some material issues: an exposed bedroom area shows signs of mould/damp that will require investigation and remediation, and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. Council Tax is Band G and described as quite expensive.
This flat will suit purchasers seeking a characterful central London home with outdoor living and redevelopment potential — practical improvements could enhance comfort and energy efficiency while preserving charming period detail.
