Set on the sixth floor of a handsome Georgian block, this unusually large four-bedroom flat offers nearly 2,500 sqft of flexible living in the heart of Kensington. The apartment benefits from lift access, a porter, long leasehold (share of freehold with c.955 years remaining) and a generous south-facing double reception room with a fireplace and large bay window. Two bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and there is a separate study, utility cupboard and a guest WC.
The property requires modernisation throughout, presenting a clear opportunity to create a high-spec, bespoke home. Important practical points are straightforward: secondary glazing is in place, heating is by boiler and radiators (mains gas), the building has timber-frame walls with no assumed insulation and broadband speeds are very slow. The service charge is high at £20,000pa and the local crime level is recorded as high — both material factors for planning costs and security measures.
Location is a major strength. The block sits at the corner of Warwick Gardens and Kensington High Street, a short walk from Holland Park, shops, cafés and strong primary school options (two outstanding-rated state primaries nearby). Transport links and local amenities are excellent, and the apartment’s scale and layout will particularly suit buyers seeking space for family living or those considering a premium refurbishment for resale or long-term holding.
In short: a rare, large Kensington flat with substantial renovation potential, very long lease and concierge-style block facilities. Budget for refurbishment, higher running costs and remedial works to heating/insulation and connectivity when assessing the purchase.
