Period two-bed with high ceilings, private patio and sought-after communal gardens.
Spacious raised-ground and lower-ground two-bedroom layout with a study
Set over raised ground and lower-ground floors of a handsome Victorian terrace on Lexham Gardens, this spacious two-bedroom flat blends period character with practical family living. The reception room benefits from high ceilings (3.48m) and a large bay window that frames views towards the well-kept communal gardens. A generous principal bedroom includes an en suite and fitted dressing room; a second double bedroom, separate bathroom with shower and a study leading to a private patio complete the accommodation.
Practical extras include a well-equipped separate kitchen and a sizable utility room, plus the security of a long lease (share of freehold with some 949 years remaining). The flat’s location is a major draw: south of Kensington High Street with excellent shopping, transport links and top independent and state schools nearby, as well as easy access to Holland Park and Kensington Gardens.
Buyers should note material running costs and some retrofit needs: heating is by electric ceiling units, the building’s solid brick construction has no assumed wall insulation, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Service charges are above average at £5,448 per year, which covers communal upkeep and the highly desirable communal gardens.
This property will suit buyers seeking central Kensington living with strong period proportions and excellent outdoor communal space. It’s particularly well placed for families looking for nearby schools and green space, or investors targeting long-lease period flats in an affluent borough — though budgets should allow for potentially higher utility and service costs and any desired insulation or heating upgrades.
