Summary - PALMERSTON HOUSE, 60 FLAT 11 KENSINGTON PLACE LONDON W8 7PU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Porter, off-street parking and heating included — compact central living.
Generous, bright studio room with large double-glazed windows
Light-filled studio in Hillgate Village with notable conveniences: a porter, secure off-street parking and heating/hot water included in the service charge. The open-plan main room measures a generous size for a studio and benefits from large double-glazed windows that bring in natural light and a feeling of space.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact central London pied-à-terre in Kensington. The long lease (946 years) removes a common leasehold worry, and the building’s porter and allocated parking add everyday convenience that is rare at this price bracket in W8.
Be clear about the ownership costs: the service charge is relatively high at £5,000pa and ground rent is £380pa. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so some communal areas and fittings may need updating over time. The property’s construction (cavity walls, no added insulation assumed) and unknown double-glazing install date mean future buyers should consider energy-improvement potential.
Inner-city benefits include excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds, excellent local amenities and strong schools nearby. Note that local crime levels are reported as high — purchasers should consider security and insurance implications when deciding to view and buy.
