The Property
This impressive Grade II Listed lateral apartment offers exquisite reception rooms with 4.39-meter ceiling height, as well as a balcony spanning the width of the property which overlooks the picturesque private communal gardens.
Upon entering this historic building, the grandeur and proportions are immediately evident, which is continued into this first floor flat (with lift). The impressive entrance hall leads to a pair of elegant reception rooms with tall windows, high ceilings and French onto wide balconies with views over the communal garden below. Set back from the reception rooms is a generous kitchen which includes an informal dining area and a balcony.
The four double bedrooms with bathrooms are situated quietly to the rear of the building, one of which is located on the second floor. In addition to the privately located bedrooms is a convenient storage and utility room on a half landing.
In addition to the two balconies spanning the frontage of this grand stucco fronted building are two further small balconies to the rear, creating a selection of private outdoor areas throughout the apartment. Queen’s Gate Gardens also benefits from the historic Victorian private gardens whose original landscape has generally been maintained since the mid-nineteenth century. The garden is beautifully maintained offers a quiet green getaway for residents of the square. Residents also benefit from the green expanse of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.
The Neighbourhood
Queens Gate Gardens is an impressive stucco fronted square which is situated in the heart of South Kensington, whilst being moments from the amenities of Gloucester Road and High Street Kensington. Having originally been a part of three fields used as a market garden, it was soon developed by Charles Aldin in circa 1858. The gardens were initially named The Prince’s Gardens and later formally renamed as Queen’s Gate Gardens. The development of Queen’s Gate Gardens, as we know it today, was seen as a pivotal architectural advance and formative to creating the standard for Victorian Garden Square Developments, which are so greatly enjoyed today.
