Set on the lower ground floor of an attractive Victorian terrace in the heart of Kensington, this two-bedroom garden flat offers a practical city base with private outdoor space. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefits from wood floors and a bay window that bring light into the living area, while the principal bedroom opens onto a conservatory that can double as a home office or quiet reading room.
The flat is well-positioned for local amenities, with Kensington High Street and Notting Hill Gate shops, restaurants and transport a short walk away. Kensington Gardens and Holland Park are within easy strolling distance, giving a rare combination of central convenience and nearby green space. The share of freehold and an unusually long lease (990 years) simplify ownership compared with many central London flats.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the accommodation is average-sized and presented in a modern style, but as a lower-ground Victorian conversion it has solid brick walls with no known insulation and relies on a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is high and the local area records very high crime levels — factors to weigh for daily life and running costs. Also note the property occupies a lower-ground position, which affects natural light and privacy relative to upper-floor apartments.
This flat will suit buyers seeking a central Kensington address with outdoor space and long-term security from the lease. It’s particularly appropriate for first-time buyers or professionals who prioritise location and sensible internal space, and who are comfortable with period maintenance realities and higher local costs.
