This classic Phillimore Estate house has been beautifully restored and was the winner of London's Best Single Residence at the UK Property Awards in 2018. A rare combination of traditional architectural integrity and contemporary styling, the house has been superbly crafted and designed by a world-class design and construction team. Located on one of central London's most coveted super-prime residential addresses, 28 Phillimore Gardens is a very rare commodity. Extending to approximately 5,123 sq ft /476 sq m of internal area, the accommodation in the house has unusually good lateral space and has the unusual benefit of having planning permission already granted and protected to significantly extend the house underground by an additional 3,305 sq ft / 307 sq m, creating a total potential internal area of 8,428 sq ft / 783 sq m. The gracious, wide entrance hall features a bespoke, stone-clad cantilever staircase creating an impressive sense of arrival to the formal reception rooms on the raised ground floor. Lift access and a guest WC cloakroom can also be found on this level. Of particular note is the formal drawing room which spans the entire rear of the house, with three elegant sash windows providing a wonderful aspect over gardens on the Phillimore Estate. A fantastic informal sitting room and dining room adjoins the kitchen and has an electrically operated large glass sliding doors on to the garden which create unusually practical, light filled family space. A bespoke, exceptionally designed contemporary Boffi kitchen is well-served by Gaggenau appliances and supported by a fully equipped chef kitchen including a walk-in fridge and industrial grade cooking equipment and extraction unit. The Phillimore Estate is located to the north of Kensington High Street between two of London's most beautiful parks: Holland Park and Kensington Palace Gardens/Hyde Park. Phillimore Gardens is generally considered to be one of the most prestigious positions on the estate. Access to the world famous shops and restaurants in and around Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Mayfair and Notting Hill is very easy, as is access out to the M4 for Heathrow Airport. The house is also close to some of central London's finest schools. Many of London's finest cultural institutions; museums, galleries and the iconic Royal Albert Hall (left) are within easy reach. Kensington Palace and Kensington Palace Gardens are also close by. The Phillimore Estate is perfectly located close to Holland Park (above) and the charming boutiques of Notting Hill Gate.
