About this property

  • Prime Kensington address

  • Spacious lateral layout

  • Unmodernised throughout

  • Short lease benefit

  • Lower sdlt exposure

  • Value-add potential

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom lateral apartment within one of Kensington’s most prestigious period buildings, Melbury Court.

Located on the second floor with lift access and 24-hour concierge, this apartment extends across generous proportions and offers tremendous potential for a buyer to modernise to their own specification.

Currently unmodernised, the property provides a double reception/dining room, family room, spacious kitchen, four bedrooms (one en-suite), dressing room, and guest WC. With high ceilings, large windows, and an excellent lateral layout, it is a blank canvas for refurbishment.

Crucially, the apartment is offered with a short lease of approximately 35 years, making it significantly more cost-effective compared with long lease equivalents. A shorter lease not only reduces the headline purchase price but also lowers Stamp Duty Land Tax (sdlt) exposure, offering a smart entry point into one of Kensington’s most desirable addresses. Future lease extension remains an option for buyers wishing to add long-term value.

Set behind a gated entrance, residents benefit from on-site security, private parking (first-come, first-served), and proximity to Holland Park, Kensington High Street, and excellent transport links.
