2 bed flat for sale

Emperors Gate, London SW7

If South Kensington had a secret hangout spot, this would be it!

Perched at the top of a graceful Victorian terrace, this two-bedroom home pairs classic architecture with the kind of roof terrace you normally have to blag your way into.

Emperor's Gate has that rare mix of calm and convenience: A leafy, quietly dignified street moments from the vibrant heart of this coveted neighbourhood. Pubs, cafés, restaurants and delis are all on your doorstep, with the station and museums a short stroll away. Climb to the top floor and the flat opens into a brilliantly bright living space. Facing south-west, the high-ceilinged living/dining room catches sunshine from morning into the afternoon, its sash windows framing a leafy view over the elegant line of terraces. The separate kitchen sits next door - practical and well-sized.

A few steps up lead to two peaceful double bedrooms and two well-kept bathrooms, one with a bath and the other with a smart shower. To the rear, chimney pots and London rooftops create the familiar urban patchwork that gives the home its sense of place.

And then comes the moment that sets this flat apart. One private flight above is an expansive roof terrace - unexpectedly large, beautifully decked and edged with trellising. It's a place that feels both elevated and exclusive: Perfect for slow brunches, golden-hour drinks and spontaneous evenings that always seem to run later than planned. Once you've spent time up here, it's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

A home ready to enjoy from day one - crowned by a terrace that feels like South Kensington's best-kept secret.
