Set within a restored Edwardian mansion in the Royal Borough of Kensington, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a balance of period character and contemporary living. High ceilings and sympathetic interiors give a sense of scale across an 851 sq ft layout, while modern kitchens and two bathrooms make it ready to occupy.
Residents benefit from strong on-site amenities: a 24-hour concierge, a fully equipped Peloton gym with All-Access Membership, an exclusive meeting room and a private landscaped courtyard — rare communal facilities in central W8. High Street Kensington tube is just 0.2 miles away, providing swift access across the city.
Practical points to note: the property is sold as a share of freehold with a very long lease (997 years) and a below-average service charge of £914 pa. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local broadband speeds are very slow. Crime levels in the area are above average, and parking is by on-street permit only.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking a stylish, low-maintenance central London home with strong communal amenities and excellent transport links, while accepting the neighbourhood’s higher costs and slower broadband as trade-offs.
