Hyde Park Gate

A beautifully refurbished two-bedroom apartment situated on the fourth floor of an elegant period building, on one of Kensington’s most prestigious addresses. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owner, with a strong emphasis on quality, craftsmanship and design. The west-facing reception room is wonderfully bright, with two original sash windows providing excellent natural light and open views along the street.

Generous in proportion, the room combines warm timber flooring with a simple neutral palette, built-in cabinetry and an original fireplace.

A newly refurbished kitchen sits just off the reception room and has been cleverly designed to make excellent use of the space. The two bedrooms are both generous in size, accompanied by two beautifully finished bathrooms with Lefroy Brooks fittings.

Dinesen Douglas Fir flooring, bespoke joinery, underfloor heating and full insulation are among the details introduced as part of the refurbishment, while the original character of the apartment has been carefully preserved. A lift provides access to the fourth floor, with an attractive communal entrance and well-kept front garden. The location is hard to beat, sitting between Kensington, South Kensington and Knightsbridge, with Hyde Park at the end of the road and Kensington High Street within easy walking distance.

The surrounding area provides an exceptional choice of restaurants, shops and transport connections, while the building itself has a fascinating place in London’s literary history, marked by blue plaques dedicated to Sir Leslie Stephen, Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf. An exceptional apartment combining a high-quality refurbishment, generous proportions and a remarkable Kensington setting.
