This mid-terrace Georgian/Regency-style townhouse offers a compact, well-proportioned central Kensington home with genuine period character and outdoor space. Arranged over three floors, the house provides a double reception, a fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a south-facing rear garden and a separate roof terrace — a rare combination for a central W8 address.
The location is a major selling point: Kensington’s parks, top independent and state schools, and abundant local amenities are all within easy reach. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the property ready for modern family life or rental occupation.
Buyers should note the property’s compact footprint and small garden typical of central London terraces; rooms are efficient rather than expansive. The building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and no assumed wall insulation, so potential buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and consider refurbishment to modern standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime levels are high, which should be factored into ownership costs and lifestyle choices.
Overall this freehold terrace suits a professional couple, small family or investor seeking central Kensington presence with refurbishment upside. The roof terrace and south-facing garden add valuable outdoor space, and sympathetic upgrades could increase comfort and capital value while retaining attractive period proportions.
