ALBERT HALL MANSIONS, KENSINGTON GORE, SW7
Designed in 1878 by renowned architect Richard Norman Shaw, the glorious Albert Hall Mansions were the first of their kind – and the beginning of a new era in city living. Still as impressive today, the grand entrance hall, with its sweeping staircase and sprawling corridor, sets the tone for the rest of the property.
Spanning 3,500 square feet, the duplex apartment is situated on Kensington Gore, a U-shaped thoroughfare that was redeveloped in the late 19th century to commemorate Prince Albert, with views overlooking Hyde Park. The ground floor boasts two reception rooms, both with impressive ceiling heights of 3.5 metres, as well as open fireplaces and views onto Hyde Park. The open-plan kitchen leads to a more informal reception room, while this floor also offers a bedroom with separate entrance. The principal bedroom suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, occupies the majority of the first floor, while there is also a guest bedroom suite and a further bedroom and bathroom on the same level. Period features, from the vast ceiling heights to detailed cornicing, add extra depth and character throughout.
