Summary - 51 FLAT 2 BARKSTON GARDENS LONDON SW5 0ES
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom flat with balcony and communal garden access, minutes from South Kensington amenities.
Expansive bay-fronted reception with dining space
Set on the first floor of an elegant late-Victorian terrace, this large two-bedroom flat offers generous living space and classic period proportions ideal for family life or a central London pied-à-terre. The expansive bay-fronted reception easily accommodates dining and entertaining; floor-to-ceiling doors lead to a private balcony overlooking Barkston garden square and the exceptional communal garden beyond.
Accommodation includes two good-sized double bedrooms, the principal with an en suite, plus a separate shower room. A stylish semi open-plan kitchen links to the reception while high ceilings and large windows maximise light throughout. At about 1,062 sq ft the layout feels unusually spacious for the area and suits buyers seeking room to live or tenants wanting a high-spec rental.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold) and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. The flat sits in an affluent, well-connected pocket of SW5 with strong schools, fast broadband and very low local crime.
Considerations: the building is solid-brick Victorian (likely limited cavity insulation), so heating costs and potential retrofit for improved thermal performance should be factored in. The current average service charge is around £4,000 per year. While the apartment is beautifully presented, future buyers should allow for typical period-maintenance and communal upkeep costs.
