Kensington mansion building Allen House launches its first show apartment
Allen House, a handsome Edwardian mansion building that is being sensitively restored just off Kensington High Street by JV partners Topland, O&D London and Residence One, has launched an impressive two-bedroom show apartment. Designed by Residence One, the apartment gives potential purchasers a sense of what is to come at this highly anticipated development.
Allen House has partnered with Harrods to offer a priority line concierge service for future residents. Future homeowners will be able to make reservations at any of the 23 restaurants within Harrods via a private concierge service.
Due to complete next month, Allen House will comprise 45 studio, one, two and three-bed luxury residences, and two penthouses offering unparalleled views across the city’s skyline. Several apartments will have direct access to the residents’ private landscaped garden by Kinland Design, with a selection on the upper floors benefiting from their own balconies, overlooking the green space and city’s skyline.
Originally designed in 1908 by Paul Hoffman, Allen House is being given an internal makeover to reflect its charming exterior, including comprehensive reconfiguration of rooms, the addition of a new penthouse level, amenity spaces and air-conditioning in all residences. The show apartment, which gives prospective buyers a first glimpse of the residential aesthetic and quality of fixtures and fittings, is situated on the ground floor complete with custom-made kitchen, bedroom and bathroom joinery by Concept Bespoke. A cosy banquette dining space upholstered in rich olive green is located in the kitchen, with a further two-bedrooms, large family bathroom and stone-clad en-suite elsewhere in the home. Each room is dressed with bespoke furniture and art work, designed by Residence One.
Buyers at Allen House will also benefit from a 24-hour concierge, a coveted RBKC residents’ parking permit (available to 45 apartments) and a one-of-a-kind Peloton gym, as well as a meeting room and one of the largest private gardens in the area.
A hub for culture, arts and design and moments from two of London’s Royal Parks; Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, the charming borough of Kensington is perfectly positioned for residents to enjoy all that London has to offer. Prices for a one-bed residence at Allen House start from £1.24m, and two-bed residences start from £2.6m.
