Compact, characterful flat close to High Street and three tube lines.
Fourth-floor studio with lift and porter service
Bright fourth-floor studio in a portered, lift-served Georgian Revival block at the heart of Kensington. The layout offers a separate kitchen, wooden floors and a large window that keeps the main room light and airy. The building’s period character and central location place shops, cafés and three tube lines within easy walking distance.
This apartment is compact at about 333 sq ft and suits a single buyer, city pied-à-terre or rental investment. The property benefits from a long 89-year lease remaining, low ground rent and a managed community heating scheme, but the service charge is significant at about £2,955 per year.
Notable practical matters: the building is solid brick with no assumed wall insulation, heating is via a community system, and local recorded crime levels are very high — factors worth considering for residency or lettings. Buyers should also verify all service and management details prior to exchange.
Overall, this is a central Kensington studio that offers immediate convenience and period appeal, with clear trade-offs around size, running costs and local safety that will influence suitability for living or letting.
