5 bed flat for sale

Bayswater Road, London W2

Crowning Caroline House on Bayswater Road, this extraordinary penthouse occupies an exceptional position above Hyde Park. Spanning approximately 6,252 sq ft including the garage, it is a home defined by light, privacy and one of the most arresting outlooks in London, with a sweeping 182 ft frontage framing views across Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and the city skyline beyond.

Completed in 2011, the apartment occupies the seventh floor and has been carefully designed so that its principal rooms open directly onto an expansive series of roof terraces. Underfloor heating, comfort cooling and a home automation system control lighting, blinds, curtains, AV and temperature throughout, creating a home that is as intelligent as it is impressive.

Direct lift access opens into an entrance hall that introduces the apartment’s generous proportions. At its centre is a magnificent reception and dining room extending to over 35 ft, a beautifully expansive space for entertaining with the park laid out beyond the glass. From here, the view runs directly down the central axis of Hyde Park, following the tree-lined walkway that leads across the park towards South Kensington. Adjoining this is a separate media room, offering a more intimate setting while still enjoying the same remarkable outlook and access to the terrace.

The kitchen and breakfast room sits separately; fully fitted and bespoke, it is centred around a generous breakfast area and opens through sliding doors onto the terrace, making it particularly well suited to outdoor dining and long summer lunches. Appliances include Samsung and Siemens refrigeration, an Ilve oven and hob, and a Liebherr Vinidor wine fridge.

The principal suite occupies its own private wing of the apartment and feels quietly removed from the entertaining spaces. Here, a large bedroom opens onto the terrace, accompanied by a bath and shower room, a substantial dressing room and a separate study. The remaining bedroom accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged with further guest suites and an additional double bedroom, providing excellent flexibility for family and guests.

Outside, the terraces are exceptional in scale and arrangement. Multiple outdoor spaces wrap around the apartment, including expansive terraces to the rear which are among the largest on the northern side of Hyde Park. With long views across treetops, rooftops and open sky, they offer extraordinary vantage points over the park and create a series of outdoor rooms for entertaining and relaxation.

Residents of Caroline House benefit from landscaped grounds set back from Bayswater Road, a uniformed 24-hour porter service and secure access via fob-controlled gates. This penthouse also includes parking to the rear and a double garage.

The address places you directly opposite Hyde Park, with Queensway, Notting Hill and Paddington all within easy reach. There is a growing energy to the neighbourhood, too, with significant regeneration continuing to reshape the area around Bayswater and Queensway.

A separate two-bedroom staff apartment on the floor below, extending to approximately 1,057 sq ft, is available if required by the purchaser with a guide price of £1,500,000.
