Are you ready for some property-style inception?
A Kensington apartment has gone on the market, complete with its own self-contained unit.
The sprawling apartment spans three stories and includes an extra ‘flat-within-a-flat’ on the first level for £16 million.
The two-bedroom self-contained apartment has its own living area, kitchen and two bathrooms.
The flat within the flat was previously used as staff accommodations and measures 1,320 square feet, which is significantly larger than the typical London house (860 square feet). However, it has the potential to be leased out as a separate property or used as a ‘granny annexe’-style living area for a relative.
There are seven bedrooms, an internal swimming pool, two reception rooms, balconies, a wine basement, and a double garage in the main centre of the house, which spans the remaining levels.
The three-story West London house is located in a cul-de-sac close to Kensington Gardens.
The agents behind the house, however, say the main flat could use a refresh, as it hasn’t been renovated since the late 1990s.
‘The cost per square foot reflects excellent value in contrast to homes nearby,’ says Charlie Findlater of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.
‘The work needed has been factored into the price.’
If the spacious layout (with a total of nine beds) isn’t enough to entice you, the property also has a 1970s Brutalist-style masonry exterior and two public entrances.
