An elegant Grade II Listed three-bedroom mid-terrace in South Kensington, offering 1,487 sq ft of period character and a rare, private circa 79 ft rear garden. The house retains many original Georgian features — tall ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and a symmetrical façade — presenting a handsome canvas for restoration. Its freehold tenure and central SW7 address place it within easy reach of museums, parks and excellent transport links.
This property is unmodernised and requires renovation throughout. Listed status will restrict alterations and likely require specialist consents and materials, which can add time and cost. The building currently has secondary glazing and solid brick walls assumed to have no insulation; upgrading thermal performance and services (electrical, heating, hot water) should be budgeted for. EPC rating D and very expensive council tax are factors to consider for running costs.
For a family seeking a long-term home or a buyer aiming to restore a high-value period house, the plot offers substantial upside: retain and enhance historic features, reconfigure internal spaces, or carefully extend subject to listed-consent. The location — south-facing aspect on a prestigious terrace, excellent local schools, very low crime and fast broadband — supports both comfortable living and future value growth.
Practical positives: mains gas central heating, freehold ownership, no flood risk and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity. Practical drawbacks: listed restrictions, renovation work required, poor current insulation and significant council tax. This is a restoration project with strong location-led appeal rather than a move-in-ready purchase.
