Observatory Gardens — Observatory Gardens

Observatory Gardens is an award winning portered development completed in the mid 1990's but set behind a glorious Victorian period façade that dates back to 1883. It derives its name from the Observatory built on this site in 1831 by the astronomer, Sir James South, and for a time, housed the largest telescope in the world! This particular apartment is on the preferred 1st floor with magnificent 3.54m ceiling heights in the reception / dining room and a beautiful south-facing outlook with glorious natural light and green views. Totalling approximately 1,020 sq ft the further accommodation includes two double bedroom suites, a fully-fitted kitchen, guest cloakroom and plenty of built-in storage. There is also a balcony directly off the living space and a terrace at the rear off the second bedroom. Looked after by a 24hr concierge service and with secure underground parking (one space included and a second space available by separate negotiation), Observatory Gardens is positioned between Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park and Holland Park. There are a number of well-known shops, restaurants, highly regarded schools and convenient transport links all within within 0.5miles (Central, District & Circle Lines at High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate Tube Stations).
