About this property

  • St. Albans Mansion is a grand mansion building on the corner of Kensington Court Place and St. Albans Grove, a favoured neighbourhood in the heart of Kensington, affectionately known as “Thackeray Village”. It is a beautiful red brick period architecture dating back to 1894, renowned for providing wonderful lateral living in a peaceful setting, has perhaps the most beautiful passenger lift and is looked after by a resident porter. Within a few hundred meters are a number of shops, bistros, delicatessens and restaurants, the open spaces of Kensington Gardens & Hyde Park, convenient bus and Underground links at both Kensington High Street and Gloucester Road (District, Circle & Piccadilly Lines) and well-regarded schools such as Thomas' Preparatory and the French Lycée in South Kensington.

    This particular apartment is superbly positioned on the top floor (6th) with a southerly aspect that ensures plenty of natural light and with incredible views over the surrounding tree-lined streets and London beyond, including much of the capital's iconic skyline. The principal rooms all enjoy excellent proportions and unlike many top-floor properties, the ceiling heights are also impressive throughout, being at 2.85m. The property has been a wonderful home for a number of years, retains much of its charm and provides the next owner the opportunity to create a truly fabulous apartment.

One of my favourite buildings, glorious architecture, resident porter and this apartment is right up on the top, looking out over the Royal Borough
