Large period flat with private patio and direct communal garden access.
Share of freehold with approx. 992 years remaining on the lease
Set on a private street in desirable South Kensington, this large one-bedroom flat combines period charm with practical city living. The reception room is bright and spacious, featuring a bay window and working gas fireplace, while the principal suite opens onto a sole-use patio — rare for a central flat. The property has its own front door and direct access to the communal Onslow Gardens opposite.
Presented in good condition, the accommodation includes a separate galley kitchen, generous storage and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators. The long lease (approximately 992 years) and share of freehold give long-term security uncommon in the area. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note an upcoming block refurbishment: reserve fund contributions are temporarily higher to cover planned works this year, though previous quarterly contributions were much lower and are expected to stabilise after completion. The building is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation) which may mean higher heating costs; council tax is also described as quite expensive. Overall, the flat offers a rare mix of private outdoor space, secure tenure and a prime South Kensington location for someone seeking a well-proportioned one-bedroom home.
