Spacious five-bedroom period apartment moments from Hyde Park, rare share of freehold..
Approximately 2,789 sq ft lateral ground-floor apartment
An imposing, lateral 5-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a red-brick mansion block in Palace Court, moments from Hyde Park. At about 2,789 sq ft the home keeps many strong period features — high ceilings, bay-fronted reception rooms, original fireplaces and ornate moldings — giving rooms impressive volume and a traditional, grand feel.
Accommodation includes a bay-fronted living room, a grand dining room, a separate eat-in kitchen with fitted units, five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. Practical extras include an outside storage room and residents’ off-street parking. The property is sold as a share of freehold, which typically appeals to buyers wanting longer-term control than a standard lease.
Notable positives: the location is exceptional for families and professionals — Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and strong private-school options are nearby; broadband and mobile signal are excellent; the building is in an affluent inner-city area. At the same time, buyers should factor in a high service charge (£14,666 pa) and above-average local crime statistics. The building’s solid brick construction (pre-1900) means character but likely limited wall insulation, so heating (mains gas boiler and radiators) and soundproofing could be areas to review.
This property will suit purchasers seeking a large, characterful central-London home with period proportions and prime green-space access. It also has scope for thoughtful updating — particularly around thermal efficiency and modern finishes — while the share-of-freehold tenure and off-street parking are rare practical benefits in this location.
