Compact characterful pied-à-terre near transport and private gardens.
Bay-fronted window floods studio with natural light
Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on Pembridge Square, this lower-ground studio offers a compact, characterful London base ideal for investors or a city pied-à-terre. The apartment feels larger than its footprint thanks to high ceilings and a bay-fronted window that floods the living space with natural light. A defined sleeping area, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and modern kitchen and bathroom make the flat immediately habitable.
Practical strengths include a long lease (239 years remaining) and share of freehold ownership, reducing long-term tenure risk. The flat benefits from direct access to Pembridge Square Gardens and excellent transport links via Notting Hill Gate, plus quick access to Kensington Gardens and Portobello Road—appealing locational factors for short lets or buy-to-let demand.
Buyers should note the property’s compact size (approximately 382 sq ft) and the relatively high average service charge of £2,250 per year. The area records very high crime figures, which may influence lettings and insurance costs. Overall, the home balances period charm and modern fittings in a highly sought-after Notting Hill square, offering straightforward rental potential or a convenient city bolt-hole.
