Set within an elegant Grade II listed Victorian terrace on Queen’s Gate Place, this raised ground-floor apartment pairs generous period proportions with a private decked terrace. The south-facing reception room delivers high ceilings, original cornicing and a large bay window that fills the main living space with light.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with direct terrace access; a second double bedroom, family bathroom and guest WC complete the layout. A separate kitchen offers integrated appliances and useful storage, and the flat’s 1,007 sq ft footprint feels spacious for central South Kensington.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold (147 years remaining), chain free and sits in a very affluent area with excellent transport, schools and Hyde Park nearby. Service charges are notable (circa £4,448 pa) and council tax is described as quite expensive. As a Grade II listed building with solid-brick construction, some works will be subject to listed-building constraints and insulation upgrades are limited by the fabric of the building.
This home will suit buyers seeking classic Victorian character and generous rooms in a prime SW7 location — families or professionals who value proximity to cultural amenities and green space. It also offers rental potential, but purchasers should factor in listed-status restrictions, service costs and likely maintenance for a building of this age.
