Light-filled period living in the heart of South Kensington. This third-floor two-bedroom flat combines generous Edwardian proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows with modern conveniences such as double glazing, a fitted kitchen and two bathrooms (principal en suite). A south-facing reception room and well-separated bedrooms suit sharers, a small family or anyone wanting a comfortable central base.
Residents benefit from lift access and beautifully maintained communal gardens, offering a rare pocket of green in a major conurbation. The property is an attractive, well-presented example of a stucco-fronted Victorian conversion, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical for home working.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with an unusually long term remaining (969 years) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Service charges are high at £11,600 per year and council tax is also noted as expensive, so running costs are significant. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation (as-built), which may affect heating costs and could be an upgrade opportunity.
Overall this home offers period character and strong natural light in a prestigious location close to Gloucester Road, Kensington High Street and top schools. It will appeal to buyers wanting central convenience, garden square living and scope to personalise energy-efficiency improvements.
