Description
Lying in the iconic Albert Hall Mansions in South Kensington, this expansive apartment is set on the fourth floor and unfolds across 3,446 sq. ft. Lying next to the eponymous Royal Albert Hall, the lateral apartment is defined by period features, large windows and a wonderful sense of grandeur. Entry is to a long central corridor, which runs through the heart of the apartment. The kitchen lies to the immediate left. Here, sleek white cabinetry reflects light into the room and a breakfast bar has space for stools to be placed underneath. On the right of the corridor are the large reception and dining rooms, which are open to each other, making the spaces perfect for entertaining. In both rooms, large sash windows allow light to pour in and parquet flooring runs underfoot. A study and TV room provide extra spaces for quiet retreat; there is also a utility room. The vast master suite lies at the far end of the apartment with a large bathroom and walk-through wardrobe. Three more bedrooms are generous doubles and two are ensuite. There is also a family bathroom and a powder room. The building has grand communal spaces and a 24-hour porter. Albert Hall Mansions are Grade II-listed mansion flats, designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw, who received the commission in 1878. The apartments are situated on Kensington Gore, next to the historic Royal Albert Hall and amid the various amenities, restaurants, boutiques and luxury shopping that Knightsbridge, South Kensington and Kensington have to offer. Opposite is Kensington Gardens, once the private gardens of Kensington Palace. The nearest underground stations are Gloucester Road and South Kensington (Piccadilly, District & Circle lines).
