A handsome five bedroom Grade II listed townhouse with an open aspect south-facing garden, situated in a prime location in South Kensington SW5.

Set back from the road with a good size front garden and an impressive mature tree which provides both appeal and privacy. The property offers a good balance of space with high ceilings and period features throughout. This particular terrace of houses were formally known as Drayton Terrace and share similar architecture to the neighbouring and highly desirable houses at the north end of Drayton Gardens.

Entering on the raised ground floor to a bright, elegant hallway which gives access to a large open-plan kitchen/dining/reception room with pretty views to both front and back. There is access to a wonderful mature c.30 ft south-facing garden from this floor, perfect for al fresco dining.

Upstairs, on the half landing, there is a tranquil conservatory with uninterrupted views over the neighbouring gardens, perfect for reading. On the first floor to the front is the formal drawing room with ceiling heights of 3.23m and two large period windows. There is a double bedroom and shower room on this level. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a shower room. A large loft studio room is on the upper level.

The lower ground floor is currently configured as a self-contained apartment with a bedroom/study, bathroom and kitchen, that enjoys an abundance of natural light due to a light well. The lower ground floor also benefits from vault storage to the front opposite the front door.

This charming Grade II period townhouse has been in the same family ownership since the early 1980s. It presents an extremely exciting opportunity to create a wonderful family home for its new owners. Several of the neighbouring properties have built rear extensions. This may be a consideration for this property subject to the necessary permissions and consents.


Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stations (Piccadilly, District and Circle Lines) are equidistant and approx. 0.3 miles away, providing fantastic transport links in and out of London.

There are excellent local amenities such as Waitrose, a myriad of restaurants, bars and neighbourhood shops. The French Lycée and 'Little France' are very close. Various schools, including Falkner House, Glendower Prep School, Mander Portman Woodward (MPW) and Queen's Gate School, are on the doorstep too.

Nearby famous landmarks, museums and cultural institutions include the Victoria & Albert Museum (approx. 0.6 miles), The Natural History Museum (approx. 0.6 miles), The Royal Albert Hall (approx. 0.9 miles away), Kensington Palace (approx. 1.1 miles), Hyde Park (approx. 1 mile), Harrods (approx. 1.3 miles) and the Saatchi Gallery (approx. 1.2 miles).

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.

    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
