The Bedrooms

The first floor is almost entirely occupied by a spectacular double reception room, with French doors leading out onto a roof terrace. Furthermore, this floor contains a bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the half landing.

The second floor includes a grand principal bedroom running the entire length of the house. There is also a well-proportioned dressing room and a generous ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi style bathtub. The third floor includes two more bedrooms, one with its own dressing room, as well as a bathroom and kitchen.

Planning Potential

The house is decorated in a traditional style to suit its grand proportions. However, it has the potential to be redesigned for contemporary living. With that in mind, a planning application has been made for the construction of a single storey basement extension, as well as a lower ground floor and ground floor extension, together with infilling of the first floor and rear terrace area.

Outdoor Spaces

The property includes a large rear garden with a lawn and planted borders, barely overlooked by the surrounding houses. In addition, there is a front garden giving added privacy and off-street parking.

From the first floor upwards, all of the rooms at the rear of the house have a view over the gardens of Essex Villas and Stafford Terrace, creating a beautiful vista. The property is unusual in having both first floor and third floor roof terraces, which also enjoy the view.

The Neighbourhood

Phillimore Gardens is a historic street running parallel with the south-west side of Holland Park. It is lined in large Victorian villas with white stucco bases and dressings set back from the road.

Historically, the street was home to several noted politicians and admirals. Nowadays, it is among the most sought-after addresses in Kensington, with the restaurants, shops and underground station of Kensington High Street all in easy reach.
