Set within a stucco-fronted Victorian block on Stanhope Gardens, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers unusually large living space for South Kensington. The newly renovated interior combines high ceilings, hardwood floors and modern fittings across an expansive 1,428 sq ft layout, creating a comfortable family living environment with period character preserved.
Practical advantages include a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (approx. 970 years). Residents also benefit from communal gardens and excellent transport links, with schools and local amenities a short walk away — useful for families and professionals who need quick access to the city.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a high annual service charge of approximately £12,500 and a council tax band G described as quite expensive. The building uses a community heating/fuel arrangement and the walls are original solid brick (no added insulation assumed), which may affect heating bills and future insulation choices.
The area is affluent and cosmopolitan but records very high local crime levels, which prospective purchasers should consider when assessing security and insurance needs. Overall, this property suits buyers seeking a large, characterful home in a prime central location and who are prepared for above-average communal costs and to address building-era maintenance or insulation decisions.
