Abingdon Road, W8

A much-loved home in the heart of Kensington.

Tucked away on one of Kensington’s most prestigious residential streets, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom flat sits within a well-maintained red brick mansion block just moments from the bustle of High Street Kensington.

Offered in excellent condition throughout, the flat has been a cherished home for over two decades and is now ready for its next chapter. It offers a flexible layout with the potential to be reconfigured back into a three-bedroom home, as it once was.

The flat is bright and airy, with a dual-aspect reception room complete with a working gas fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming living space. This opens into a dedicated dining area, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is well-proportioned and fitted with high-spec integrated appliances including an oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. There is also a separate utility room with a washer and dryer.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal bedroom offering excellent built-in storage and a peaceful rear aspect. The bathroom is modern and well-appointed, and the original layout included a separate WC which could be reinstated if desired.

Abingdon Mansions is a handsome and well-run period block with pleasant communal areas and a strong sense of community. The flat benefits from an RBKC residents' parking permit, which allows parking anywhere in the borough.

Abingdon Road is one of W8’s most desirable addresses, just a short walk from High Street Kensington station, with Earls Court and Kensington Olympia stations also within easy reach. The A4 is close by, providing straightforward access to Heathrow, the M4 and the outskirts of London.

The area is known for its exceptional amenities – from Michelin-starred restaurants to celebrity hairdressers, boutique cafés and world-class gyms such as Equinox. Nearby Holland Park and Kensington Gardens offer green open space, while the Design Museum, Leighton House and a local cinema and library add cultural interest. Whole Foods is around the corner, and the wider shopping of Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Notting Hill is only a short distance away.

The area is also well served by schools and universities, including Kensington Kindergarten, Thomas’s, Fox Primary, Wetherby Pembridge and Imperial College London – all within walking distance.

Homes in this location attract long-term residents, with a number of well-known faces choosing to live quietly in the area, thanks to its mix of privacy, charm and convenience.
