Campden House, 29 Sheffield Terrace, London, W8

Once described as a "Garden in the Sky", this is a simply superb apartment that can't help but impress.

Description

Campden House was built at the end of the 19th century and is a late Victorian Architecture on the southern side of Sheffield Terrace with direct access into beautiful communal gardens, which are some of the most outstanding in Kensington. Looked after by a Resident Porter service, the building has a reputation for providing grand accommodation in a discreet atmosphere. The immediate neighbourhood consist of tree lined streets and has a community feel whilst also being extremely well located for many excellent shops and restaurants, convenient transport links such as the Central, District & Circle Lines at either Notting Hill Gate and / or High Street Kensington Underground Stations, a number of highly regarded schools and the open spaces of both Kensington Gardens and Holland Park. Furthermore, Heathrow Airport is easily accessible either by the Heathrow Express Link from Paddington or via the M3/M4 motorway network which also allows convenient access to the countryside.

One of Kensington’s finest apartments (totalling 5,029sqft), this magnificent penthouse sits discreetly on top of Campden House on Sheffield Terrace in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the Royal Borough. Constructed in 1961 following instructions to create a “garden in the sky”, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation and extension in 2021/22 and now provides the best that 21st century living has to offer, in beautiful period surroundings. All of the principal rooms look south across London but of particular note is the kitchen family room, so often the heart of a property, which has been opened up to include a large relaxed dining area as well as a TV/family space along with the fully fitted bespoke kitchen. The principal bedroom suite is also one of the main features with extensive “His & Hers” dressing rooms, its own private roof terrace and an incredible bathroom looking across the gardens and London’s skyline. However, as beautiful as these spaces are, upstairs is where the real magic takes place – the entire southern frontage, which extends to approximately 121ft (36.9m) – is pure entertaining space, with full height windows maximising the most incredible views, and sliding doors going onto the most glorious private roof garden in the whole of Kensington.
