8 bed terraced house for sale

Hyde Park Gate, South Kensington SW7

Detailed Description

Occupying an exceptional position within a quiet and prestigious cul-de-sac directly opposite Kensington Gardens, this distinctive contemporary penthouse extends to over 9,000 sq ft (843 sq m) of internal accommodation, arranged principally across the top two floors.

Originally commissioned in the late 1970s under the supervision of renowned architect Igael Yarvitz, the property is characterised by its bold architectural language, generous proportions and exceptional volume. The accommodation offers considerable scope for an incoming purchaser to modernise and reconfigure the space to suit their own requirements, including the potential to create separate units, subject to the necessary consents.

The property is approached via two private street-level entrances and benefits from a passenger lift, together with a separate self-contained two-bedroom apartment which provides flexibility for guests, staff or independent living.

At the rear, a series of private terraces overlook landscaped gardens, providing a peaceful and secluded outlook rarely found in such a central London location. One of the property’s more unusual features is an indoor swimming pool, discreetly positioned on the top floor.

Additional amenities include a double garage, extensive storage and a substantial wine cellar. The scale, configuration and existing layout provide an incoming owner with an exceptional opportunity to create a highly individual residence, while retaining the architectural character and proportions of the original design.
