Summary - Gunterstone Road, West Kensington W14 9BS
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Quiet first-floor conversion with private balcony near High Street Kensington.
Long lease 144 years remaining
Set on the first floor of an attractive Victorian conversion in the Gunter Estate Conservation Area, this recently renovated one-bedroom home combines period proportions with modern finishes. High ceilings and large windows give the open-plan kitchen/reception a bright, airy feel; the kitchen opens onto a private balcony for quiet outdoor space. The double bedroom sits to the rear and includes generous built-in storage alongside a contemporary bathroom.
Practical strengths include a long lease (144 years remaining), no onward chain, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and an annual service charge of £1,500. The location is a major asset: West Kensington and Barons Court stations are within a short walk, local green space is nearby, and High Street Kensington and Kensington Olympia amenities are easily reached. The property suits first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors, or anyone seeking a central pied-à-terre.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, the building’s timber-frame walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the site carries an average local crime level. Ongoing costs include an annual ground rent of £50 and council tax (Band D). These factors should be weighed alongside the long lease and renovation quality when assessing value.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful conversion that offers immediate move-in condition and good long-term security via its lease length. It will particularly appeal to purchasers wanting central access, strong local schools, and a low-maintenance property with period charm and modern fittings.
