Key Features

This is the sort of property that almost never comes up in Holland Park anymore.

Set across the entire top floor of one of the iconic white stucco villas on Holland Park, this 1,553 sq ft apartment is completely unmodernised and honestly feels like a once-in-a-decade opportunity for someone with vision. It needs a full refurbishment, but that’s exactly what makes it so exciting — you’re not undoing somebody else’s bad renovation or compromising around awkward decisions. You’re starting with an incredible shell in one of London’s most beautiful buildings and creating something completely your own.

The proportions are amazing throughout, particularly the huge reception room overlooking the tennis courts at the rear. The views are unexpectedly green and peaceful, and there’s something very special about being up at the top of the building looking out across Holland Park from these big period windows. The light is brilliant as well.

At the moment the layout offers a large reception room, separate dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom accommodation, but there are already planned works drawn up and the space feels full of potential. You can immediately see how spectacular it could become with the right design approach. Estimated refurbishment costs are thought to be in the region of £300,000–£400,000 depending on specification.

What’s rare here is the combination of scale, position and opportunity. Finding a proper unmodernised apartment of this size in Holland Park — especially within such an iconic villa — is incredibly unusual now. It feels like the kind of home somebody could create and then keep for decades.

The property is leasehold with approximately 983 years remaining.
