Set within an attractive stucco-fronted period house on Cranley Gardens, this generous one-bedroom flat offers classic South Kensington living with practical outdoor space. The 21’8” x 14’7” drawing room, large principal suite with en-suite and independent kitchen provide well-proportioned rooms for comfortable city living. French windows from the bedroom open onto a private rear patio, and the property benefits from a private street entrance and access to Onslow Gardens opposite.
The home is offered with a long lease and a share of freehold, a notable ownership advantage in central London. High ceilings, original fireplace and period mouldings retain character, while tasteful contemporary touches in the bedroom and kitchen make the layout immediately usable. The flat extends to approximately 776 sq ft, unusually spacious for a one-bedroom in this postcode.
Buyers should note the recorded annual service charge of £6,500 (from December 2025) and relatively high council tax, which affect running costs. The building’s original solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation, so purchasers should consider potential heating and sound improvements. Overall, the property suits someone seeking a characterful, central one-bedroom with outdoor space and strong transport and cultural amenities on the doorstep.
