Campden Hill Court, Campden Hill Road, London

Campden Hill Court is one of Kensington’s most highly regarded mansion buildings, being in the sought-after Campden Hill neighbourhood, a little to the north of Kensington High Street, and between two of London’s Royal Parks, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park. The fine red brick period building dating back to 1898 has grand communal areas and sits in this leafy part of the Royal Borough. It also has excellent security provided by the 24-hour, 365-day-a-year porter service. There are a number of shops, restaurants and cafés nearby, such as Wholefoods, Waitrose, Gail’s and the Michelin-starred Kitchen W8. There are also a number of convenient transport links to the City, West End, South Kensington, Knightsbridge and Heathrow Airport (Central, District & Circle Underground Stations at High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate stations; and the Heathrow Express link at Paddington Station). Furthermore, some of the capital’s best primary and secondary schools, such as Thomas’s, Hawkesdown House, Holland Park School, and Foxes, are all nearby.

This particular apartment occupies one of the very best positions within Campden Hill Court, being up on the fourth floor and with a beautiful southerly frontage that looks out right across Kensington and towards Chelsea, taking in much of London’s famous skyline. The apartment is beautifully presented with wide plank, engineered walnut flooring; De Gournay hand-painted wallpaper; Miele, Bosch & Siemens kitchen appliances and Silestone work surfaces; Bisazza Mosaic bathroom finishes; a combination of CAT6/5 cabling throughout, Rako intelligent lighting and cabling for wall-mounted or fitted speakers in all the principal rooms.

However, perhaps most impressive is the wonderfully practical layout, as on entering the property all the living spaces are to the right, taking in the best of the views, whilst the four double bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms are quietly located to the left, giving a good separation between the two zones, ideal for family living. And unusually for a mansion building, the apartment has three delightful balconies: one off the kitchen with room for a table and two chairs upon which to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, and two off the reception and dining spaces, which have the best of the sunshine throughout the day and evening.
