This bright two-bedroom third-floor flat offers well-proportioned rooms and fitted storage throughout, set on prestigious Kensington High Street. The spacious reception room with a feature fireplace and a stylish fitted kitchen with breakfast bar create comfortable day-to-day living in a compact footprint.
Both bedrooms are doubles with fitted storage and the bathroom is contemporary, making the flat move-in ready. The property sits in a period building (pre-1900) with secondary glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The long lease (141 years) provides security for buyers.
Notable costs and practicalities are set out plainly: the service charge is high at £6,335 per year and ground rent is £200. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and could be addressed during future refurbishment. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high; buyers should review local safety and security measures.
For first-time buyers seeking central Kensington convenience, the flat offers immediate access to shopping, transport links, and a range of schools. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, and the accommodation suits those prioritising location and character over generous square footage.
