South Kensington | Terrace, 4m Ceilings, Full AC, Harrods & Hyde Park

Some apartments in Central London are well located. Some have good specifications. Very few manage to combine genuine architectural distinction — 4-metre high ceilings, a private terrace elevated above street level — with full air conditioning in every room, a capacity of 8, and a location that puts Harrods, Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, and the museum quarter all within easy reach. This Collingham Place apartment does.

THE APARTMENT
A spacious and beautifully designed two-bedroom apartment in a period building on Collingham Place SW5 — in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. On the first floor, accessed via one flight of stairs from the shared building entrance. No step-free access.

The elevated first floor position keeps the apartment pleasantly removed from street-level noise, delivers impressive 4-metre high ceilings that give every room a volume and light that cannot be matched, and makes the private terrace elevated above street level more private, more pleasant, and a genuinely rare feature for a Central London apartment.

Bedroom 1 — king bed, ensuite bathroom, built-in storage, full AC.
Bedroom 2 — king bed, built-in storage, full AC.
Bathrooms — two in total, both well-appointed with heated towel rail, hotel-quality towels, hairdryer, shower amenities, and shaver point.

Living area — bright, high-ceilinged space with Smart TV and two king sofa beds always made up and ready — extra pillows and blankets provided. Full AC. Original period fireplace (decorative).

Private terrace — elevated above street level, with outdoor seating. Quiet hours apply 21:00–09:00 including on the terrace.
