A spacious one-bedroom lower-ground flat in iconic Albert Hall Mansions, offering high 3.15m ceilings, large windows and generous 656 sq ft internal space. The layout creates a bright, airy reception with room for separate seating and dining; the bedroom is well-proportioned for a couple or single occupant. The property combines period character with contemporary finishes such as herringbone floors and recessed lighting, set in one of Kensington’s most sought-after pockets next to the Royal Albert Hall.
Practical details suit long-term ownership: a very long lease (993 years) removes a common leasehold concern, mains gas central heating, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for modern living. Immediate green space is close by — Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are a short walk away — and central transport links (South Kensington, Gloucester Road within about a mile) keep the rest of the city accessible.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points. The flat is on the lower-ground level, which can influence daylight and privacy despite large windows. There are notified fire-safety matters for the building; prospective purchasers must obtain the full information and factor any future remediation or costs into their decision. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, so heating costs and insulation improvements are considerations. Council tax and local crime statistics are above average for the area.
This home will appeal to those seeking a central Kensington address with period charm and contemporary interior quality — suitable for a downsizer, professional couple, or investor looking for a city-flat in a prestigious location. Viewings recommended once full fire-safety details have been reviewed.
