Bright one-bedroom flat in portered Kensington block, newly renovated with 125-year lease, steps from parks and shops..
Portered mansion block with lift access
Situated on the first floor of a well-maintained portered mansion block, this newly renovated one-bedroom flat offers a bright reception room with wooden floors and a modern fitted kitchen. The apartment is a manageable 542 sq ft and benefits from lift access, porter service and a new 125-year lease, making it straightforward to own in a prime Kensington location.
The layout is traditional and efficient: reception room, separate compact kitchen, double bedroom and contemporary shower room. The property connects directly to local amenities, excellent transport links and the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Holland Park — ideal for someone seeking central convenience and easy access to shops, cafés and schools.
Buyers should note practical running details: heating is via a community scheme and the building is likely solid-brick construction typical of the period (1900–1929). Annual holding costs will be higher than average — council tax is expensive and the immediate area records very high crime levels, which may affect personal security considerations and insurance costs.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor who values location, a low immediate maintenance profile (recent renovation) and the reassurance of a portered block. It is not a large property and will not suit those needing expansive living space; however, for a compact, turn-key Kensington home with a long lease and lift access, it represents a rare, conveniently placed option.
