A Grand Lateral Apartment Overlooking Hyde Park

Occupying a high floor within Blenheim Court, a handsome Grade II-listed building on Lancaster Gate, this substantial lateral apartment extends to more than 3,150 sq ft and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of remarkable scale overlooking Hyde Park. Currently arranged as a four to five-bedroom home, it offers impressive proportions throughout and would now benefit from a thoughtful programme of updating.

The apartment opens into a generous entrance hall that sets the tone for the volumes that follow. At its heart is an exceptional 35-foot reception and dining room, a striking space for entertaining with an abundance of natural light and far-reaching south-facing views towards Hyde Park. A separate study or additional reception room sits alongside, offering welcome flexibility for family life, working from home or more formal hosting.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the opposite side of the plan, creating a strong sense of separation between entertaining and private space. The principal bedroom is well proportioned, while three further bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. The current layout allows for considerable versatility, with scope to reconfigure according to a purchaser’s requirements.

The kitchen is fully fitted and positioned centrally within the apartment, while the existing bathrooms and utility space support comfortable day-to-day living as it stands. Though the interiors have been well maintained, the apartment now offers clear potential for renovation, making it an especially compelling proposition for a buyer looking to create a tailored long-term home in one of west London’s most distinguished mansion blocks.

Blenheim Court is a well-regarded address with porterage and lift access, superbly positioned for Hyde Park and the amenities of both Marble Arch and Notting Hill. Lancaster Gate itself remains one of the area’s most impressive terraces, with the green expanse of the park on one side and the restaurants, boutiques and transport connections of W2 on the other.
