An exceptional two bedroom lateral apartment spanning an impressive width of six elegant windows, situated in a handsome red-brick Victorian building. This remarkable residence presents an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a first-floor apartment with a double balcony enjoying picturesque green views of the garden square, set within the vibrant heart of South Kensington SW7.

Entering via the first floor to a bright and spacious hallway, that leads to a triple window reception room. This room is characterised by a striking ceiling height of c. 3.7 meters, accentuated by ornate period cornicing with intricate detailing. This space further benefits from three floor-to-ceiling French doors, gracefully opening to a generous-sized balcony, a perfect space for dining and entertaining. A beautifully-appointed kitchen and dining space are positioned towards the rear of the apartment, equipt with integrated appliances, a gas hob, ample cabinetry and pristine worktop space.

The principal bedroom suite is served by extensive wardrobe storage, a dressing room and an en suite with a standalone bath and shower. The principal bedroom also has French doors that open out to the balcony. Towards the rear, you'll find an additional well-proportioned double bedroom, accompanied by a separate shower room accessible from the hallway.

The apartment has a wealth of period features, spanning approximately 1,560 sq ft, with its remarkably spacious rooms, exceptionally high ceilings and a wonderful sense of space throughout. The apartment also has a share of the freehold with an underlying long lease.


Emperors Gate is conveniently positioned 0.3 miles from Gloucester Road underground station (Circle, District and Picadilly lines). The amenities, bars and restaurants of both Gloucester Road and Kensington High Street are close by, as are the open spaces of Kensington Gardens.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    One of the capital's heavyweight cultural and education hubs, affluent South Kensington, affectionately known as 'South Ken', is also unsurprisingly one of the central London's most desirable residential areas bordering the glossy postcodes of Knightsbridge, Kensington, Fulham and the green fringes of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Perhaps best known for its world-class museums clustered within a small square footage of SW7, the area brags the Victoria and Albert Museum (the V&A), the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Within striking distance are leading universities including Imperial and LSE. As such, attraction-heavy South Kensington gets busy. But away from the visitors, in green pockets of this historic district, sit some of the capital’s finest properties tucked away on quiet, leafy streets, curling around private garden squares and lining roads behind London’s iconic museums and top education facilities. From our offices on Old Brompton Road, each year we help buyers from across the globe make SW7 their home, securing some of the area’s best properties – from large, European-style apartments in red brick mansion blocks to grand family homes and freshly launched new developments.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 11, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 2, 2011 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
