Academy Gardens, Duchess Of Bedfords Walk, London W8

Academy Gardens offers a prestigious address with secure, gated grounds, beautiful landscaping, 24-hour concierge, valet parking, a swimming pool, and gym. This former college, redeveloped in 2004 behind a Victorian façade, is one of the most coveted locations in central London.

The spacious 34' reception room faces south, overlooking gardens and mature trees. It's complemented by a triple-aspect library and a formal 22' dining room leading into a Bulthaup kitchen/breakfast room. The master suite includes separate his-and-hers bathrooms and a walk-in dressing room. Additional spaces include four guest/family bedrooms, a study, a guest cloakroom, and a utility room.

This well-maintained apartment, with under-floor heating, comfort-cooling, and parquet wood floors, has been owned by the same family since the development's completion. Situated on the third floor, it spans 5,055 sq ft / 470 sq m, making it the largest single-floor residence in the building.

Positioned between Holland Park and Kensington Gardens, and surrounded by mature trees, it has a wonderful leafy setting and is conveniently positioned for a number of excellent local shops, restaurants, cafés and transport links (the Central and/or District & Circle Lines at High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate Underground Stations) as well as some of the Capital's most highly regarded schools (Thomas' Preparatory and Holland Park School).
