Fordham Court occupies one of the most considered residential addresses in Kensington, set within a distinguished Victorian terraced building on De Vere Gardens, W8. Built prior to 1900, the building pairs period grandeur with discreet residential living and benefits from a passenger lift throughout.
This two-bedroom apartment extends across two interconnected floors and offers approximately 1,343 sq ft of internal space, with a further private terrace of approximately 32 sq m. The defining feature is an extraordinary double-height reception room, where soaring ceilings of 14.2ft rise to an open void connecting both levels. Three full-height French doors open directly onto the terrace, drawing light deep into the interior. The contemporary kitchen is finished in crisp white cabinetry with a dark contrast splashback.
The principal bedroom suite on the upper floor is accompanied by an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. A dedicated study provides workspace alongside. On the lower floor, the second bedroom is served by its own shower room. Integrated surround sound, smart lighting, and motorised electric blinds are all controllable via Apple iPad or iPhone. The apartment is presented furnished and in excellent condition throughout.
"The reception room alone sets this apartment apart. That ceiling height, with the light coming through the French doors onto the terrace, is the kind of space you simply do not find at this address." - Agent
