Summary - PORTER'S FLAT, CUMBERLAND HOUSE, KENSINGTON ROAD W8 5NX
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious turnkey two-bedroom with luxury leisure facilities and private patio.
Opposite Kensington Gardens with direct park-facing position
A rare, turnkey two-bedroom duplex directly opposite Kensington Gardens, finished to high specifications and arranged over ground and lower-ground floors. The apartment offers a generous reception, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, two double bedrooms each with marble-tiled ensuite bathrooms, and a private patio garden — all within an exclusive recent development that retains part of a period façade.
Residents benefit from full comfort cooling, underfloor heating, hardwood floors and high-spec appliances, plus 24-hour concierge and a resident-only leisure suite with a 25m pool, spa, sauna and gym. The property is sold as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (987 years), making it straightforward for long-term occupation or a premium London pied-à-terre.
Buyers should note the very high annual service charge (£26,738) and very expensive council tax banding, which significantly increase ongoing costs. Local recorded crime levels are very high; the building has 24-hour security, but this is a material consideration for those used to quieter neighbourhoods.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a central, luxury home with park-facing location and premium communal facilities — ideal as a lifestyle purchase or high-end investment in one of London’s most desirable postcodes. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, finish and direct park aspect.
