Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This penthouse apartment is tucked away in one of Kensington's charming red brick buildings. Part of a conservatory area, you’ll be a short walk from shops, restaurants, museums, and a Tube station, making it easy to explore both near and far. The interiors are traditional and understated – there's a cosy living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and two comfortable bedrooms. That said, the star of the show is the enormous roof terrace, where you can perch with a glass of wine and admire the views of the communal garden across the street.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
