Summary - Sutherland House, W8 W8 5LG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Quiet Victorian mansion block flat close to parks and transport links.
Large lateral two-bedroom apartment, 1,007 ft²
A handsome two-bedroom lateral apartment set within an elegant red-brick Victorian mansion block in prime Kensington (W8). At 1,007 ft² the flat feels unusually spacious for the area, with high ceilings and a large double reception plus separate dining room — ideal for relaxed family living and for entertaining. The home is rear-facing and tucked away from the main road, giving a peaceful outlook despite the central location.
Practical benefits include lift access, a resident porter and a very long share-of-freehold lease (circa 958 years) that secures tenure and long-term value. The building is well maintained and residents can apply for on-street permit parking. Excellent local amenities, transport links and nearby green spaces (Kensington Gardens, Holland Park) make this a convenient Kensington base for families.
Buyers should note the property carries a high annual service charge (circa £11,800) and council tax described as quite expensive; factor ongoing costs into budgeting. The flat has one bathroom only and a community heating scheme (mains gas), and the original solid brick construction suggests limited built-in insulation — upgrading thermal efficiency would likely require work and cost.
Overall this is a rare, large two-bedroom in a sought-after street: a comfortable family home with strong long-term appeal, but with above-average running costs and modest scope for energy improvements unless upgraded.
