Summary - Flat 1a, 26 Stanhope Gardens SW7 5QX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Renovated central pied-à-terre with private patio and strong transport links.
Generous one-bedroom garden-level flat, approx. 808 sq ft
A generously proportioned one-bedroom garden-level flat in a prime South Kensington address, recently and tastefully renovated. The apartment (approx. 808 sq ft) offers a bright sitting/dining room, a modern fitted kitchen, separate utility, and a private flagged patio directly outside the entrance — a rare outdoor space for this part of the borough. High ceilings, marble-lined hallway and quality finishes create a confident, contemporary feel throughout.
Practical details are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. Annual service charge is approximately £1,800 and buildings insurance is listed at £899. The flat sits within easy walking distance of Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations, world-class museums, shops and schools, which supports strong long-term demand in this sought-after neighbourhood.
There are two material cautions buyers must weigh. The flat is leasehold with only 25 years remaining — lenders may refuse to provide mortgages, and lease-extension costs can be substantial. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high; buyers should consider security measures and insurance accordingly. These factors affect mortgageability and some buyer segments but do not negate the location or the renovated condition for a cash buyer or experienced investor.
This property suits a buyer who prioritises location and finished presentation and who is prepared to manage lease extension or buy with cash. For someone seeking an immediate, low-maintenance central London pied-à-terre or a rental asset with few upfront works, this is a refined, ready-to-occupy option. For purchasers requiring standard mortgage finance, confirm lender acceptance early in the process.
