This first-floor two-double-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome 1930s block directly opposite the Royal Botanic Gardens, offering a very desirable Kew address and pleasant views over communal lawns. The well-proportioned 735 sqft layout provides a generous reception room, separate kitchen and two comfortable doubles — a practical home for a couple or small family and an attractive rental for investors.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold with an exceptionally long 951-year lease, off-street parking and maintained communal gardens. The building’s solid-brick construction, period features and large windows deliver good natural light and character; the flat is presented in neutral decorative order, ready for immediate occupation with low short-term refurbishment needs.
Buyers should note some ongoing costs and local factors: the annual service charge is £2,858, council tax is above average and local crime statistics are higher than surrounding areas. The walls are original solid brick (insulation not assumed) and the double-glazing install date is unknown, so buyers seeking the highest thermal performance may wish to budget for improvements.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to secure a spacious period apartment in one of London’s most sought-after pockets, with strong transport links, top local schools and excellent long-term lease security. The property will particularly suit first-time buyers wanting space and proximity to green amenities, or investors targeting steady demand in TW9.
