This elegant three-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies 1,501 sq ft in a smart red-brick mansion block on Drayton Gardens. High ceilings, large bay windows and generous room proportions give the principal reception and dining spaces a light, airy feel. Contemporary comforts include underfloor heating, Rako lighting and double glazing; the apartment benefits from step-free access and lift service.
A notable advantage is the separate lower-ground studio finished to the same standard and with its own large window—ideal as a home office, guest suite or rental unit. The property also includes resident’s parking, a caretaker, and west-facing balcony views toward mature treetops. Gloucester Road and numerous shops, restaurants and amenities are within easy walking distance.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (986 years) and share of freehold, low flood risk and an EPC rating of C. Costs to note: council tax is described as quite expensive and ground rent is £100. The building is solid brick and constructed before 1900; there is no confirmed retrofit insulation in the walls, which may affect long-term energy performance despite the modern heating system.
This apartment will suit families or professionals seeking large, characterful accommodation in an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood. The separate studio adds flexibility and potential income, while the long lease and share of freehold provide ownership stability. Buyers should budget for higher local taxes and consider future wall insulation if prioritising maximum energy efficiency.
