A well-proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment set on the first floor of a modern purpose-built block in the heart of Kensington. The layout delivers a generous reception and dining area, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and an ensuite, all arranged for comfortable everyday living. Day-porter, passenger lift and secure underground parking add practical convenience and security for city life.
Location is the apartment’s strongest asset: a two-minute walk to High Street Kensington station and five minutes from Hyde Park, putting transport, shops and green space on the doorstep. The building is modern (constructed c.1996–2002) and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for working from home.
Important practical points: the lease has c.83 years remaining and the tenure is share of freehold — buyers should check lease details and potential service charges. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the local crime level is noted as very high; prospective purchasers should weigh security and running costs into their decision.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance Kensington base with parking and strong transport links — a practical choice for professionals, a small family or an investor wanting prime location rental appeal.
