Positioned on the top floor (with lift) of one of South Kensington’s most admired red-brick mansion buildings, this light-filled penthouse combines period proportions with a thoughtful modern layout. Built between 1901 and 1904 on the site of Coleherne House, Coleherne Court is known for its handsome architecture, 24-hour porter service, and access to one of the finest and largest private gardens in the area. The apartment was recently remodelled to create a larger and more open reception area, which leads out to a balcony through a set of French doors. The living space flows naturally into the adjoining dining room, which enjoys a leafy outlook, itself leading onto the kitchen, which is finished with marble worktops and quality appliances. The principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are both fitted with built-in wardrobes and share a second shower room and a guest powder room. Wooden floors run through the main living spaces, with soft carpet underfoot in the bedrooms. Residents have full use of the beautifully kept communal gardens and secure bike storage. Coleherne Court sits in a particularly well-connected part of South Kensington, with Old Brompton Road and Earl’s Court moments away. The neighbourhood is known for its garden squares and village atmosphere, home to independent cafés, bakeries, and boutiques alongside classic local institutions such as The Troubadour. Bousefield, the renowned local state school is also situated next door on The Little Boltons. The open green spaces of Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Holland Park are within easy reach, as are world-renowned museums including the V&A and the Natural History Museum.
