About
A substantial third-floor apartment with porter, set within an impressive red-brick mansion block. Entering the apartment on the third floor, a central hallway connects the principal rooms.
The living room is well-proportioned, with a bay window bringing in good natural light, complemented by a fireplace framed by glazed green tiles and a decorative chandelier.
Beyond, the family/dining room and kitchen form a generous open-plan space, fitted with a central island, glossy floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and integrated appliances, with windows overlooking the surrounding rooftops and greenery.
The master bedroom is a substantial room with a bay window and its own ensuite bathroom, finished in black marble with contrasting brass fittings.
Three further bedrooms lead off the hallway, one currently arranged as a study, each featuring fitted wardrobes and further period fireplaces.
The family bathrooms are elegantly finished, one with a herringbone-tiled backdrop and marble surrounds, another with hexagonal mosaic flooring and a heated towel rail.
A separate utility room provides further practical storage. Several rooms feature ornate fireplace surrounds with glazed green tiles, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses.
The building itself presents a handsome red-brick facade, with a pedimented entrance flanked by columns and cast-iron balcony railings, typical of the area's late Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
The windows in several of the principal rooms open onto a balcony enclosed by ornamental wrought-iron railings, with views over trees and greenery beyond.
Gloucester Road is a well-connected address in South Kensington, moments from Gloucester Road underground station (District, Circle and Piccadilly lines).
