Pembroke Gardens, London, W8

Description

Extending to just over 5,000 square feet, the house offers exceptional scale and versatility.

An inviting entrance hall leads to an impressive, raised ground floor kitchen and dining room, setting the tone for the generous proportions throughout. Two staircases rise to a magnificent first-floor reception room, which spans the full width of the property. Flooded with natural light from floor-to ceiling windows, this elegant space opens on to a portico balcony overlooking the front of the house. Also on the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and is complemented by a well-appointed en suite bathroom with Juliet balcony.

The second and third floors are arranged as additional bedrooms and bathrooms, all light-filled and benefitting from far-reaching, leafy views. A roof terrace on the third floor provides a private suntrap retreat.

The lower ground floor offers two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, utility room and an additional living area and sunroom with direct access to the garden – perfectly suited to both entertaining and family living. The south-facing garden itself is enhanced by a raised terrace, creating an ideal setting for alfresco dining. Vaults to the front of the house, with scope for conversion, add further flexibility.

Pembroke Gardens is a quiet and affluent enclave of Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, rarely available and much sought-after. Its enviable location is just moments from the wealth of shops, cafés and restaurants on Kensington High Street. Excellent transport links are close by, with High Street Kensington Underground Station (0.3 miles, Circle & District Lines) and Earl’s Court Underground Station (0.3 miles, District & Piccadilly Lines) both within easy reach.

The area is also well served by schools, including Thomas’s Kensington (0.3 miles) and Holland Park School (0.6 miles). The open green spaces of Holland Park (0.4 miles) provide further leisure and recreational opportunities.

With its rare availability, elegant proportions and superb location, Pembroke Gardens stands as one of Kensington’s most desirable residential addresses.
