A rare duplex penthouse in Onslow Gardens, occupying two floors of a handsome period terrace with lift and porter. The apartment offers generously proportioned principal rooms, high ceilings and triple windows overlooking Onslow Square and the communal gardens, plus residents’ access to the garden squares and a tennis court.
The layout comprises a large drawing room with built-in bookshelves and fireplace, a formal dining room, separate eat-in kitchen and utility, three double bedrooms (two en suite) and plentiful wardrobe storage. With 1,721 sq ft and classic period proportions, the flat suits buyers seeking substantial, lettable central-London accommodation with strong location appeal.
Important practical points: the service charge is high and the council tax described as very expensive; the next service charge/ground rent review date is not confirmed and should be checked by buyers. The building walls are original solid brick with no assumed insulation, which may affect long-term running costs and renovation plans.
This is particularly well suited to an investor or purchaser seeking a prestigious SW7 address with clear rental and capital potential, but buyers should budget for significant service costs and possible upgrading for modern thermal performance or interior modernisation.
