Summary - Flat 3, Melbourne House, 50 Kensington Place W8 7PW
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Light-filled reception, private patio and parking close to two tube stations.
Spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment — approx. 964 sq ft
Set within a mid-century brick block on a quiet Kensington street, this large two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat offers substantial living space and useful outdoor areas for central London. The principal bedroom and generous reception room provide comfortable proportions rarely found at this square footage in W8, while a private patio and separate balcony add valuable outside space. Off-street parking, lift access, porter service and separate ground-floor storage enhance everyday convenience.
The apartment sits on a well-connected strip between Notting Hill Gate and High Street Kensington stations, with quick Central, Circle and District line access and good road links to the A4. The finish is contemporary throughout, with light oak-effect floors, modern kitchen fittings and double glazing. Share of freehold ownership is a practical advantage for long-term control.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and uses cavity wall construction with no added insulation (assumed), and heating is via a community mains-gas scheme — factors that may affect running costs and future upgrade work. Council Tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive. The immediate area records higher crime levels than average; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking a spacious, well-presented Kensington home with parking and outdoor space — attractive to professional couples, small families and investors who value location and floor area. Renovation potential is limited as the flat is recently updated, but the layout and storage offer good rental and owner-occupation appeal.
