Academy Gardens, Duchess Of Bedford's Walk, Londra

A former ”Show Flat”, this family apartment is the largest genuinely single floor unit within the development. Occupying a favourable position up on the 3rd floor, it looks predominantly to the south out across the landscaped gardens, mature trees, the Phillimore Estate and London beyond.

Totalling approximately 3,713sqft (345sqm), you enter through double doors into a grand hallway. To the left and in front are the full length double aspect reception room, a formal dining room and fully fitted kitchen / breakfast room. Turning to the right, accessed through a further hallway and sensibly separated from the living spaces are three guest double bedroom suites as well as a beautifully impressive principal bedroom with walk-through dressing room and en suite bath & shower room.

The property has been well-maintained and its features include hardwood flooring, comfort cooling and underfloor heating throughout. The apartment also comes with two designated underground parking spaces and, unlike more recent developments, also qualifies for the RBKC Parking Permits.

Previously the Queen Elizabeth College for Ladies, and redeveloped in 2004, Academy Gardens is an aspirational address with a Grade II Listed Victorian façade set in secure gated landscaped grounds with a superb 24‑hour concierge service, valet parking, a communal swimming pool and a gymnasium.

Positioned on the northern boundary of The Phillimore Estate and on almost the highest point in the Royal Borough, Academy Gardens is superbly located for a number of local amenities including highly regarded shops and restaurants such as the Michelin Starred Kitchen W8 and Whole Foods; some of the capital’s best schools including Holland Park School & Thomas’ Prep; convenient transport links at High Street Kensington & Notting Hill Gate (Central, District & Circle Lines), as well as the beautiful open spaces of both Holland Park and Kensington Gardens.
