A bright, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a handsome period building in South Kensington. Light wooden floors run through the reception and kitchen, while elegant crown mouldings and high ceilings amplify the natural light, creating an airy central-London retreat. The fitted kitchen has integrated appliances and smart storage; the bathroom is contemporary with a glass-enclosed shower and marble-effect finishes.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (977 years) and share of freehold ownership, offering long-term security for buyers. The apartment’s 474 sq ft layout is well-proportioned for modern living and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance central London home with immediate rental potential.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow, the service charge is above average at £6,372 pa, and council tax is above average. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, which could affect energy efficiency and future heating costs despite mains gas boiler and radiators.
Location is a major draw: moments from the Natural History and V&A museums, with South Kensington station, Hyde Park and high-end shopping within easy reach. This flat offers an attractive blend of period character and contemporary finishes, but buyers should factor ongoing service costs and connection limitations into their decision.
