Earls Terrace overlooks Kensington High Street, with a grass and garden in front, and backs onto Edwardes Square.

The entire terrace of 23 houses was redeveloped by Northacre, adding underground garages, and in 2001 sold for a total of £95 million.

The communal garden is 0.5057 hectares (1.250 acres) in size, and is not open to the public.
