Summary - Queen's Gate, Kensington, SW7 SW7 5EU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom first-floor home moments from Kensington Gardens and Imperial College.
First-floor apartment with high decorative ceilings and tall sash windows
Set on the first floor of a handsome Norman Shaw–style red-brick building, this two-bedroom apartment combines generous ceiling heights and period detailing with contemporary finishes. Tall sash windows and French doors bring strong westerly light into the main reception, which opens onto a small wrought-iron balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. The building’s exterior and lift have been comprehensively updated.
The apartment is well placed for green space and culture — moments from Kensington Gardens, the Royal Albert Hall and within easy walking distance of Imperial College and South Kensington’s museums. The layout and proportions suit a buyer seeking characterful central-London living or a rented investment targeting students and academic professionals.
Practical points are straightforward: gas central heating via boiler and radiators, a very long lease with share of freehold, and no identified flood risk. Note the property has solid brick walls likely without insulation and average broadband speeds. Council tax is very expensive and there is a single bathroom — factors to budget for when considering costs.
Overall this is a characterful, light-filled apartment in a prime SW7 location that will appeal to buyers wanting period features, proximity to parks and colleges, and long-term security of tenure. Some thermal and connectivity improvements could add comfort and rental appeal.
