Light-filled two-bedroom flat in central Kensington with long lease and share of freehold.
Third-floor two-bedroom in a period building with high ceilings
Set on the third floor of a handsome period building in the heart of Kensington, this two-bedroom apartment blends original proportions and modern finishes. High ceilings and large windows in the living room create a light, airy feel and afford city views; built-in shelving and neutral decor allow for immediate occupancy.
The layout is traditional with an efficient but compact modern kitchen and a single bathroom, making this a straightforward home for professionals or a small family. Practical benefits include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a very long lease with share of freehold ownership, providing long-term security.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is in a solid-brick building with assumed no cavity wall insulation, the kitchen is small, there is only one bathroom, and council tax is described as expensive. Shared storage is available, and the flat’s third-floor position may be a consideration for those needing step-free access.
Location is a clear strength — moments from Kensington High Street, local amenities, transport links and several well-regarded schools. For anyone seeking a characterful Kensington base with strong long-lease ownership, this apartment offers immediate charm with clear potential for modest updating.
