Bright, well-proportioned two-bedroom flat on Kensington High Street, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central London convenience. The reception room benefits from a feature fireplace and good natural light; the kitchen is stylish with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. Built-in storage throughout keeps living spaces uncluttered.
Set on the third floor of a period building (pre-1900) and accessed via a communal entrance, the apartment combines character features with contemporary fittings: two double bedrooms with fitted storage, a modern bathroom suite, secondary glazing and gas central heating. The long lease (141 years) gives ownership security uncommon for inner-city flats.
Practical considerations: the property is small at 561 sq ft and has higher-than-average service charges (£6,335) plus a ground rent of £200. The building’s solid brick construction likely has limited cavity insulation. The surrounding area records very high crime statistics, so buyers should factor this into safety and insurance choices.
Location is a primary draw: immediate access to Kensington High Street’s shops, cafés, transport links and a broad range of schools nearby. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make remote working straightforward. No flood risk is recorded for the address.
