Set on the first floor of an attractive Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom home offers bright rooms and generous ceiling heights that enhance the compact footprint. The living room benefits from large sash-style windows and original period proportions, while the modern kitchen and stylish bathroom provide up-to-date convenience.
The property comes with a long lease (999 years) and a share of freehold, giving residents greater control over management decisions. Service charges average £2,000 per year; this should be factored into running costs alongside moderate council tax. At about 560 sq ft the layout is efficient but small, best suited to professionals, couples, or buy-to-let investors seeking central Chelsea stock.
Practical considerations: the building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, and glazing is secondary — heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, which may affect energy bills. There is one bathroom serving two bedrooms. Local crime levels are above average for the area, so prospective buyers should consider security measures.
Location strengths are clear: excellent public transport (short walk to Earl’s Court and West Brompton), immediate access to Fulham Road and King’s Road amenities, schools rated from Good to Outstanding nearby, and a wide range of cafés, shops and leisure options on the doorstep. Overall this is a characterful, well-located central London home with clear potential for improvement and reliable long-term tenure.
