Description
This vast apartment lies on the second floor of an impressive mansion block next to the iconic Royal Albert Hall. Defined by its beautiful period features, expansive spaces and exceptional finish, the wonderful apartment is nestled in the heart of South Kensington. Floor-to-ceiling sash windows run throughout, meaning the apartment is brilliantly light, and large reception spaces mean it is perfect for entertaining. Entry is to a central corridor with parquet flooring and large sash windows. On the left lies the kitchen. Set on a C shape, cabinetry conceals appliances and adds extra storage. On the right of the corridor, a dining and living room lead into one another, creating the perfect space for hosting. Large sash windows allow light to pour in and are flaked by a wrought-iron balcony, and parquet flooring runs underfoot. The large master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a marble ensuite bathroom with a bath. A second suite also has its own bathroom and walk-in dressing room. Two further double bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, while the remaining two are good-sized doubles; one has an adjoining study. The apartment also features a utility room and two more powder rooms. The building also has a 24-hour porter. Designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw, who received the commission in 1878, these 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).
