A striking penthouse in the heart of Notting Hill, this newly refurbished four-bedroom flat occupies the top floors of a detached Victorian villa on Pembridge Gardens. The apartment has direct lift access, underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout, bespoke joinery, two contemporary bathrooms and a kitchen fitted with high-end appliances. A large west-facing private roof terrace and (subject to application) access to Pembridge Square’s private communal gardens complete the package.
The flat extends to about 2,075 sq ft, arranged as spacious principal rooms and flexible additional reception space that can be used as a bedroom or media room. The property is sold as a Share of Freehold with an unusually long lease (c. 998 years) and the building has recently been fully refurbished, so no major works are expected for an estimated ten years.
Practical points are straightforward: two RBKC parking permits are available (on-street parking), average service charge c. £3,600 and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The area benefits from excellent transport links (Notting Hill Gate, Westbourne Grove), fast broadband and proximity to several independent and preparatory schools, making it well suited to families seeking central London living.
Buyers should note a few material negatives. The immediate area records very high crime levels, and parking is on-street only despite permit availability. Some building fabric details (constructed 1930–49; original system-built walls assumed without added insulation) may limit thermal performance despite double glazing and modern heating systems. These points are factual considerations against the many high-spec finishes and location benefits.
