Description

Discreetly located just to the south of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park Gate is one of the Royal Borough’s most exclusive addresses. Consisting predominantly of grand Victorian architecture and dating back to 1846, it has been described by The London Survey as providing houses for "people of professional and social eminence" – indeed previous residents include Sir Winston Churchill who kept a home here from 1945 – 1965 and influential 20th century novelist, Virginia Woolf.

This particular apartment is a wonderful family home, comprehensively refurbished throughout by the current owners in 2019 and is arranged over the raised ground and lower ground floors. Extending to approximately 2,427sqft / 226sqm, the main feature is perhaps the beautiful interconnecting reception and dining rooms with polished oak hardwood flooring, glorious 3.28 m ceiling heights and a westerly outlook providing plenty of natural light. Completing the raised ground floor is a fully fitted bespoke kitchen / breakfast room with stone surfaces, walnut finishes and Miele appliances, an office, entrance hall with coat cupboard and a guest cloakroom. Going downstairs, there is a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bath and shower room, three further bedrooms, an en suite shower room, guest bathroom, excellent storage and a utility space (the bathrooms and kitchen are underfloor heated). Completing the picture are the private front and rear patio gardens overlooking mature trees and planters.

The property is located on a no-through road with the minimum of traffic and, as well as its proximity to the park, it is also within 0.8 miles of all sorts of amenities including some of the capital’s most renowned shops and restaurants, convenient transport links at High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road Tube Stations serving the Piccadilly, District & Circle Lines,
the world-famous Natural History and Victoria & Albert museums, the Royal Albert Hall and highly regarded schools and colleges such as Thomas’ Prep, Brighton College Prep, The French Lycée, Imperial College and the Royal Colleges of both Music and Art.
