Next door is the kitchen with fitted units and stone tiling, while double doors lead on to a generous reception room, filled with light from a broad bay window. High ceilings, wooden floors, and decorative mouldings give these rooms a sense of grandeur and elegance.

The lower ground floor contains three bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom with a bath, a walk-in wardrobe and considerable storage space. The other two bedrooms are also ensuite, and both have French doors leading out onto the terrace.

The flat forms part of a townhouse built in 1871 by the Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw, who also designed churches, country houses and the original Scotland Yard. Furthermore, it was home to the celebrated artist Sir Jacob Epstein from 1929-1959, a pioneer of Modernist sculpture. The house’s first-floor ballroom became his studio.

The property is exceptionally well-positioned. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are both a short distance away, while Gloucester Road underground station is also close. In addition, the world-class cultural institutions of South Kensington and the exceptional restaurants and shops of Kensington High Street are within easy reach.

Hyde Park Gate is one of the most prestigious addresses in London. The name is shared by two parallel roads leading south from the park, lined with embassies, private homes and mansion flats.
