About this property
Allen House is the comprehensive return to splendour of one of Kensington’s most important Edwardian mansion buildings. Conceived by Topland Group and Residence One, the development has been meticulously refurbished to deliver 45 lateral apartments — and two extraordinary penthouses — with interiors designed to complement the building’s original Art Nouveau facade and elegant lobby. The penthouse at 2,103 sq ft occupies the entire crown of the building, with large-format glazing on all elevations, a generous private terrace and a specification curated specifically for these two singular homes: top-of-range kitchens, marble bathrooms and sophisticated air cooling and heating throughout.
Local Area
Kensington needs no introduction. The Royal Borough has been home to the Royal Family since the seventeenth century, and Allen House sits at its heart — steps from Kensington Gardens, Holland Park, and the full cultural sweep of the area. The Royal Albert Hall, Design Museum, Kensington Palace State Rooms, Leighton House and the Serpentine Gallery are all within walking distance. High Street Kensington’s retail and dining offer — Michelin-starred Clarke’s, The Abingdon, Whole Foods, Waitrose — is on the doorstep, and Knightsbridge is 12 minutes by tube.

Investment
Allen House offers one of the most compelling scarcity propositions in Prime Central London: one of just two penthouses in a landmark Edwardian building that cannot be replicated, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The W8 postcode has consistently demonstrated capital resilience, underpinned by structural constraints on new supply, proximity to three Royal Parks and an established global demand profile. Share of freehold ownership and RBKC parking further enhance long-term value. For detailed investment analysis, please contact our team.
