Long lease: approximately 171 years remaining

This bright one‑bedroom apartment occupies an upper floor of a period mansion block on Warwick Road, moments from Earls Court station. The open‑plan living space and separate bedroom both open onto a west‑facing balcony, bringing afternoon sun and views over the building's landscaped entrance. The flat is compact at approximately 415 sq ft, with all space described as usable.
The block is due to undergo a full refurbishment, which presents upside for a buyer wanting a refreshed communal setting; confirm any planned works, service charge and ground rent before exchange. The property has secondary glazing, a gas boiler with radiators, and an EPC rating of D — cosy in winter but not highly energy efficient. Walls are solid brick with assumed no added insulation, so consider insulating opportunities if you plan upgrades.
Practicalities suit an urban commuter: Earls Court Underground is directly across the road and local amenities are plentiful. There is residents’ off‑street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the immediate area records a very high crime rate, and the flat's small footprint may limit furniture layouts and storage — important for first‑time buyers weighing space versus location.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable entry into a central Kensington location with clear potential from upcoming building works. It will suit a buyer prioritising transport links and a low‑maintenance, contemporary internal finish, while being realistic about energy performance, building-wide charges and the compact living area.
