Set within a handsome red-brick Victorian mansion block in prime South Kensington, this lateral fourth-floor apartment offers generously proportioned living across 1,007 sq ft. High ceilings and large windows create an airy, elegant reception with a separate dining room — a practical layout for family life and entertaining. Two double bedrooms and plentiful built-in storage complete a comfortable home.
The apartment is quietly rear-facing, tucked away from the main road, and benefits from lift access, a resident porter and permit off-street parking. Tenure is a secure share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease of 958 years, removing common long-leasehousehold concerns and supporting lasting capital value.
Practical considerations are straightforward and clearly signposted: the building is run on a community heating scheme and the service charge is high at £11,800 pa. Council tax is also on the expensive side. The property’s solid-brick construction (period build, pre-insulation) suggests potential for energy-efficiency upgrades if desired.
Located moments from Kensington Gardens, Holland Park and Kensington High Street, the flat sits in a very affluent, well-connected neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. A strong mix of independent and state primary schools nearby makes this an appealing central choice for families seeking space and period character with the convenience of modern communal services.
