Compact, secure Kensington pied-à-terre or investment close to shops and transport.
South-facing studio with bright London views
Set on the fourth floor of an Art Deco block in Kensington, this south-facing studio offers bright living and sweeping London views. The building is well maintained with lifts, a 24-hour concierge, landscaped communal gardens and off-street parking (first come, first served).
A long 981-year share of freehold and inclusive service charge make ownership straightforward; the annual charge of £3,600 covers heating, hot water and porter. The compact 373 sq ft layout suits a single buyer, pied-à-terre or rental investment, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Size is the principal constraint: this is a small studio with an open room count and limited storage. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. Parking is available but not allocated, and service charge is moderate given the building’s amenities.
For first-time buyers and investors seeking a secure, characterful Kensington address with long leasehold security and low maintenance overheads, this flat represents an efficient entry into a premium postcode. Confirm lease and charges with a solicitor and consider minor retrofit work to improve thermal comfort and resale appeal.
