occupying the eighth and ninth floors of an impeccably maintained 1930′s building, this four-bedroom penthouse apartment offers a peaceful sanctuary in one of south kensington′s most desirable addresses. with an almost 360′ exposure, this duplex is bathed in natural light and offers commanding views over the london skyline and arguably the best in south kensington. there is a small wrap around balcony that runs the perimeter of each floor.
the property is entered via direct lift access on to the 8th floor and immediately you are struck by the double height glass atrium upon entering. the stairs ascend to the ninth floor where the expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining room takes centre stage with soaring 10 ft ceiling heights. large glass floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the room framing views from almost every angle. the living space, which opens to the balcony, flows seamlessly into the dining area, while the kitchen is bright and welcoming, complete with white and stainless steel cabinetry giving a contemporary feel. windows above the counter frame exceptional views, which stretch out over the roof tops of south kensington and the city beyond.
the bedrooms lie on the floor below and are equally as impressive. the principal bedroom, measuring 650 sq ft, has a large walk-in dressing room/wardrobe and a sumptuous ensuite bathroom with access to the balcony. there are three further bedrooms, two with their own en suite bathrooms. the apartment is immaculately presented and air conditioning is available throughout. roland house has 24 hour concierge and there is a gym in the basement which residents can use via separate arrangement. situated on roland gardens, the apartment lies in the heart of south kensington and is therefore well placed for the amenities on offer on the old brompton and fulham road. hyde park is close by along with the world class victoria & albert museum and natural history museum and excellent shopping and restaurants. the closest underground stations are gloucester road (circle, district, and piccadilly lines) and south kensington (circle, district, and piccadilly lines).
