Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent, detached and substantial house that backs on to Holland Park. Located at the heart of the Phillimore Estate on one of the most exclusive roads in Kensington and situated in one of London’s finest residential addresses, this wonderful house dating back to circa 1850 is arranged over five floors and is steeped in history. The 6,500 sq ft (600 sq m) of internal living space features a stunning 43ft drawing room with views onto the private garden and Holland Park beyond. The spacious formal dining room benefits from views onto the park and also has access into the beautifully planted and mature garden. The family breakfast room is separate to the large kitchen and both have views on to the garden. At the top of the house is the unique studio room which has a semi-vaulted ceiling. The top floor of the building is the only one of its kind in the street and local area and its construction was granted by special permission. The house further benefits from having Off Street parking as well as qualifying for RBK&C Residents Parking Permits. The Phillimore estate is one of London’s premier addresses and dates back to around 1748. The house is situated in between Kensington High Street and Notting Hill, which both offer plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes. Holland Park is only a very short walk away. The nearest underground stations are Kensington High Street (District and Circle lines) and Notting Hill (District, Circle and Central lines).
