Flat 4, 1, Palace Gate, Kensington, London, W8 5LS, London, England W8

Set on the iconic Palace Gate in Kensington, this wonderful four-bedroom penthouse apartment is defined by light and bright open-plan living spaces and undisturbed views of Hyde Park. Set on the fourth and fifth floors of a beautiful building with a stucco and London stock brick facade, the modern interiors cleverly contrast with the apartment's period origins. The apartment is accessed directly by a lift. There is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, perfect for cooking and entertaining. Meticulously designed, the room features elegant Philippe Starck door handles, top-of-the-line Gaggenau kitchen appliances and beautiful bespoke walnut joinery. The focal point is the vast reception room on the other side of the apartment with plenty of room for both a living and dining space, again with far-reaching verdant views across the park; a generous double bedroom and a powder room also lie on this floor. On the upper floor, the luxurious principal suite has a dressing room and an expansive en suite bathroom, as well as a large terrace with sweeping views of the park; a further bedroom is also ensuite, while the fourth has a family bathroom next door. No stone has been left unturned in the design of the home, which features underfloor heating throughout, sophisticated home automation, motorised curtains for added privacy, and a comprehensive lighting system. Situated conveniently for the shops, restaurants, and public transport facilities of both South Kensington and Gloucester Road, this property is near renowned institutions such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Additionally, the Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park are just a few minutes' walk away.
