Description
Extending to approximately 2,946 sq ft / 274 sq m and arranged across two floors, this substantial South Kensington apartment occupies a desirable corner position within an impressive period building on one of SW7’s most established residential addresses.
Offering an increasingly rare amount of internal space for the area, the property combines exceptional proportions with six bedrooms, two substantial reception rooms and highly flexible accommodation suitable for family living, entertaining, guests, staff or home working.
Six-Bedroom Duplex Apartment in South Kensington
The apartment provides an unusually generous footprint for prime South Kensington, with approximately 2,946 sq ft / 274 sq m of accommodation arranged over two floors.
Its duplex configuration creates a natural distinction between the principal entertaining spaces and bedroom accommodation, allowing the property to function particularly well as a substantial family home.
The generous proportions throughout give an incoming purchaser considerable flexibility in how the apartment is arranged and used.
Two Impressive Reception Rooms
At the heart of the property are two substantial reception rooms offering excellent space for formal entertaining, dining and more relaxed everyday living.
The scale of the reception accommodation is a particularly attractive feature and allows the apartment to host larger gatherings while retaining comfortable family living areas.
Its desirable corner position and dual-aspect configuration allow natural light to enter the property from multiple directions, while the predominantly south-easterly orientation provides excellent light throughout much of the day.
Six Bedrooms and Flexible Family Accommodation
The apartment comprises six bedrooms, providing substantial accommodation for a family while also offering excellent flexibility for alternative uses.
Depending on an incoming purchaser’s requirements, the bedrooms could accommodate:
- Principal and family bedroom suites
- Children’s bedrooms
- Guest accommodation
- Live-in staff
- Home offices
- Private studies
- Dressing rooms
- Additional recreational space
This flexibility is particularly valuable in South Kensington, where apartments combining this number of bedrooms with substantial reception space are increasingly difficult to find.
Duplex Sub-Penthouse Position
Occupying a sub-penthouse position within the building, the apartment benefits from an elevated setting and a greater sense of privacy.
The duplex arrangement also gives the property the feeling of a house within a period building, offering separation between different areas of the accommodation while retaining the convenience of apartment living.
A passenger lift serves the building, providing convenient access to the apartment.
Corner Position and Excellent Natural Light
The apartment occupies a desirable corner position, providing dual-aspect accommodation and excellent natural light.
Its predominantly south-easterly orientation allows the principal rooms to benefit from particularly attractive daylight throughout much of the day.
The combination of an elevated position, corner aspect and generous internal proportions creates a sense of openness rarely found in apartments of this type in South Kensington.
