London | Allen House

Project features

Developed by Residence One, Allen House is a mansion with Edwardian-style characteristics. It stands 6 storeys tall and offers 47 thoughtfully designed apartments.

The project retains its historically distinctive facade while undergoing a full interior renovation, with the Edwardian architectural exterior complementing the elegant lobby style.

The interior design is elegant and grand, exuding prestige and nobility. The spacious window design not only brings in ample natural light but also makes the entire space brighter and more transparent. Materials are carefully selected to high specifications, ensuring the quality and taste of the decoration.

With the enviable W8 postcode in West London, located in the prestigious Kensington neighborhood, it is adjacent to the royal residence Kensington Palace.

Close to two royal parks, it is a 3-minute walk from Holland Park and a 15-minute walk from Kensington Gardens.

Surrounded by Michelin-starred restaurants, trendy cafes, and top art venues, it offers a "old money" lifestyle and access to London's high society.
