London Housing Market
GRAND TOWNHOUSE ON NOTTING HILL’S MOST SOUGHT AFTER STREET
A four-bedroom townhouse of sizeable proportions on one of London’s most exclusive addresses has become available for sale at a guide price of £5.25 million. On the market with long-standing Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea specialists Maskells, the grand family home is situated on Kensington Park Road a highly sought after idyllic street in the heart of
Notting Hill.
First developed in the early 1900s, Kensington Park Road was built by a variety of developers over a period of 30 years, with each bringing their own architectural style. A mixture of houses, townhouses, villas, terraces and detached mansions, as well as the notable Kensington Temple combine to create a characterful tree-lined street that offers a private oasis behind the bustling Portobello Road.
Discussing the popularity of this stretch of road in London, W11, Jamie Hope, Managing Director of Sales at Maskells, said: “Purchasers will pay a premium to live in the most sought-after street in their favourite area and in Notting Hill, behind the fanfare reserved for Portobello Road and Lancaster Road, Kensington Park Road holds the trump card. Connecting directly to Portobello Road its position behind the iconic street offers a sense of privacy whilst being on the periphery of the energy and activity that the area is famous for.
“Kensington Park Road is an eclectic mix of buildings that brings a character of its own that benefits from being within walking distance of Holland Park, Kensington Gardens and the amenities of Kensington High Street, whilst there are also a number of top-rated schools in the vicinity. The house itself is one of the finest available, providing excellent living and outside space, whilst being set back from the street affords additional privacy and security.”
The extensive home of c.2,613 sq. ft. is one of only a small number of London Yellow Brick townhouses on Kensington Park Road. Extensively refurbished by the current owners, the house is presented in immaculate turn-key condition, creating the perfect opportunity to secure a prime home within an exclusive postcode.
One of the main features of the home is the raised ground floor, which offers an excellent double reception room with exceptional ceiling heights of almost 3 metres that fills the room with natural light. Two original fireplaces form the focal point of the room, with beautiful cornicing that brings together the contemporary feel, with the heritage of a period home. There are French doors that lead out onto a flat roof terrace that is perfect to relax and take in the summer evenings.
On the lower ground floor, there is a stunning open-plan Plain English kitchen and island unit with high end wood carpentry inside and out, with Carrera marble tops. Overlooking the garden is a dining area, whilst there is also an enclosed pantry. Crittal windows on three sides of the room creates an exceptionally bright, open space, whilst also providing views onto the attractive 63 ft garden, which is a real highlight of the house and a rarity in Notting Hill.
To the front of the lower ground floor is a room that can either be used as another reception room, family/games room or as a fourth bedroom. Adjoining bathroom facilities and separate street access allow for the space to act as a private annexe or quarters for dependents or staff.
Occupying the entire first floor is the principal bedroom suite, complete with a private balcony looking onto the street, a walk-in wardrobe and a stunning bathroom with a free-standing bath and shower. On the top floor are two further double bedrooms, supported by a large family shower room, whilst there is also substantial loft storage.
Kensington Park Road is a prestigious road in Notting Hill, famous for its charming architecture, eclectic mix of boutique shops and exclusive restaurants. It is within close proximity to world renowned schools, the fashionable Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road market. At the end of the road is the subway entrance to Notting Hill Gate Underground station (Central, Circle & District lines).
