Summary - CHATSWORTH COURT 143 PEMBROKE ROAD LONDON W8 6DN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact Kensington pied-à-terre with concierge and communal garden.
South-facing studio with open-plan living and city views
A bright south-facing studio of 373 sq ft, set on the fourth floor of an Art Deco block in the heart of Kensington. Lift access, well-kept communal gardens and a 24-hour porter give a secure, cared-for feel; windows frame long views over the neighbourhood. The building benefits from a long share of freehold (981 years) and remarkably modest service charges considering heating, hot water and concierge are included.
The apartment is compact and arranged as an open-plan studio, ideal for a city buyer seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre or rental investment close to transport and amenities. The communal heating is run as a community scheme; service charge currently £3,600 pa. Off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces.
Constructed in the 1930s–40s, the building has period character but solid brick walls likely have little added insulation; double glazing is present though installation date is unknown. The flat is presented well but buyers should note its limited footprint and consider any upgrading, particularly if planning long-term residence or improving energy efficiency.
Practical positives include low local crime, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and straightforward council tax. For purchasers prioritising location, security and character over space, this studio offers immediate use and good long-term lease security; for those needing more room, it’s best suited as a lock-up-and-leave home or central rental opportunity.
