4 Bedroom Maisonette For Sale

Property description

This is one of the most exceptional penthouse apartments to come onto the market in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea for quite sometime. The Penthouse is entered on the 8th floor, via direct lift access, into a double height glass atrium and from which the rest of the apartment flows.


Built over the 8th and 9th floors of a substantial 1930's apartment block, the North and South Penthouse apartments were added onto the main block approximately 14 years ago, creating two floors of glass and allowing the most spectacular and far reaching views. The North Penthouse has views that include iconic London landmarks such as the London Eye, St Pauls Cathedral and The Shard which are clearly visible to the east, Battersea Power Station to the south east, the spires of the Natural History Museum and the Brompton Oratory to the north, and roofs and tree tops to the west.

There is a fabulous open plan reception area on the top floor having 10' ceiling heights and doors open onto a wrap around balcony. Arranged in a U shape, there is a dual aspect reception area one end and the kitchen and dining area the other. The bedrooms are on the floor below which also has a wrap around balcony and includes a luxurious master bedroom suite of approx 650sq ft, and three further guest bedrooms.

The Penthouse is immaculately presented and was stylishly designed in a timeless and contemporary fashion, using a combination of wood, glass, steel and marble, so allowing an incoming purchaser to either move in with no fuss or redecorate to their own taste. There is remote controlled air conditioning throughout, remote controlled blinds, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a networked telephone, computer and Linn sound system.

Roland House has 24 hour concierge and security services, and there is a gym in the basement which residents can use via separate arrangement. Ideally positioned for either South Kensington or Gloucester Road underground stations, Roland House is also perfectly placed for easy access to Knightsbridge, The West End and The City of London and there is an extensive selection of shops and restaurants in the local area.
