Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian terrace in Kensington, this two-bedroom duplex flat combines period character with contemporary fittings. High ceilings, large sash windows and a mezzanine-style kitchen create an airy feel, while a small balcony offers private outdoor space and rooftop views across the street.
Practical positives include a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (993 years) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — helpful for professionals working from home. The location is a major draw: under a ten-minute walk to High Street Kensington, Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court tube stations, with cafés, shops and top schools close by.
Buyers should note the accommodation is modest in overall size with limited bedroom dimensions and a narrow balcony. The building predates 1900 and external walls are timber frame with no assumed insulation, which may affect future retrofit costs and heating efficiency. Council tax is in a high band and the property has an average local crime rating.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or young professional couple seeking a central Kensington base with period charm, good transport links and long-term security through the share of freehold. It offers immediate liveability with scope to upgrade finishes or improve thermal performance over time.
