Grand Victorian three-bed with terraces and garden-square address.
Private entrance and large 2,371 sqft layout over two floors
A rare, generously proportioned three-bedroom apartment arranged over raised ground and first floors in the heart of South Kensington. High Victorian ceilings, ornate mouldings and large windows give the principal reception rooms an elegant, airy feel, while three terraces and a private entrance add semi-detached house‑like privacy and outdoor space.
The layout suits family living and flexible entertaining: a full-width reception with French doors and balcony, a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with marble counters, and a principal bedroom with dressing area, en-suite and private terrace. Two further double bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms and large, light-filled windows. There is an option to purchase the lower‑flat beneath, useful for extended family or rental income.
Practical details are straightforward but material: the home is leasehold with 113 years remaining; the service charge is high at approximately £9,700 pa, ground rent £825 pa, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building is Victorian solid brick (likely no wall insulation) and the double glazing fit date is unknown, so budget for energy-efficiency upgrades if desired.
Location is a major asset: Onslow Gardens is a sought-after garden square close to South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations, top independent schools and Hyde Park. This apartment will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family residence in an affluent central London square, who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the associated running costs.
