This split-level two-bedroom apartment occupies the top two floors of a Victorian mid-terrace, offering generous space and strong natural light across 1,098–1,101 sq ft. Recently refurbished, the home combines original character—fireplaces and dormer windows—with practical upgrades including a new boiler, refinished floors and remote-control blinds. The open-plan kitchen/living area has three large windows and fitted appliances, while the attic-style master benefits from built-in storage and bright dormer light.
The property is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking a roomy, centrally located pied-à-terre with scope to personalise. The long lease (187 years) and low reported ground rent reduce immediate tenure concerns; a formal lease-extension process is underway. Transport links, shops, markets and green spaces such as Holland Park are all within easy reach, reflecting the area’s increasing desirability and convenience.
Be aware of practical issues: as a solid-brick Victorian building, the walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and draughts could be higher than modern construction. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms, and some listing photos are illustrative or AI-generated, so buyers should verify finishes and fittings in person. Overall this is a roomy, characterful apartment in a prime West Kensington location, recently updated and ready to occupy or rent out.
