Set opposite the leafy communal square of Courtfield Gardens, this spacious raised-ground flat combines generous proportions with original Georgian period detail. High ceilings, large windows and decorative cornicing create a light, airy living room that benefits from direct views and access to the well-kept communal garden — a rare central-London green space for relaxing or entertaining.
At approximately 1,022 sq ft, the two-bedroom layout is larger than typical central flats and suits buyers seeking space — sharers, professionals or a small family who value location. Transport links are excellent: Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court stations are both about 0.3 miles away, and cultural landmarks such as the Natural History Museum, V&A and Hyde Park are within easy reach.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 950 years) on a share-of-freehold tenure, off-street residents’ permit parking (subject to consents) and reliable mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The surrounding area is affluent and low-crime, with fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Buyers should note material considerations: there is a single bathroom for the apartment’s size, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the building’s original solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation — this can affect heating costs and will be a consideration if you plan further upgrading. Overall, this is a characterful, well-located apartment offering scope to modernise while enjoying immediate access to one of Kensington’s most attractive garden squares.
