1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled Victorian studio in South Kensington — ideal pied-à-terre or central rental.
Quiet rear aspect with excellent natural light and high ceilings
Long lease (106 years) and low ground rent (£35 per year)
Compact studio layout — about 363 sq ft, best for single occupancy
Porter and lift in period building for added convenience
Prime South Kensington location near parks, museums, and Gloucester Road
Community mains-gas heating; running costs may differ from individual systems
Solid brick Victorian walls likely lacking insulation (assumed)
Residents’ permit parking available subject to consents
This compact studio apartment occupies a quietly positioned rear aspect of a grand Victorian building on Queen’s Gate, one of South Kensington’s most sought-after streets. High ceilings and a large window flood the open-plan reception/bedroom with natural light, creating an airy feel despite the small overall footprint. A fitted kitchen and lift access make the flat comfortable for single occupancy or as a pied-à-terre.
The property benefits from a long lease (106 years remaining), a building porter and residents’ permit parking (subject to consents). Its location is a major asset: Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are nearby, world-class museums and Imperial College are on the doorstep, and Gloucester Road station is around 0.3 miles away for easy transport links.
Practical considerations: the apartment is small at about 363 sq ft and arranged as a studio, so it suits a single buyer, city professional or investor seeking a central rental opportunity rather than a family. The building’s solid-brick Victorian construction likely lacks wall insulation (assumed) and heating is via a community mains gas scheme, which could affect running costs and future retrofit works. Ground rent is low at £35 per year.
Overall, this is a location-led purchase offering character, light and convenience in a prestigious SW7 address. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising central lifestyle and transport links, or investors seeking a compact, lettable property in a prime London neighbourhood.
