Summary - DARWIN HOUSE, 47A QUEENS GATE LONDON SW7 5JN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Steps from Hyde Park and museums; ideal for professionals or investors.
548 sq ft one-bedroom on raised ground floor with high ceilings
Set on the raised ground floor of an ornate stucco-fronted Victorian building, this one-bedroom apartment offers 548 sq ft of well-proportioned living in the heart of South Kensington. High ceilings, large sash windows and period detailing give the reception room character and lots of natural light. The layout includes a double bedroom with built-in storage, a separate kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub.
Location is a major benefit: Hyde Park and the world-class museums of Exhibition Road are within a few minutes' walk, and both Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations are under half a mile away. On-street parking and excellent public transport links suit a professional commuting across central London or an investor seeking strong rental demand.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with a current ground rent of £500pa and a service charge of £4,336.39 for six months (above average). The building predates 1900 and has solid brick walls likely without modern insulation. Buyers should factor in potential maintenance, the unknown remaining lease term and any additional leasehold management costs when budgeting.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking central location and period character who accepts typical leasehold obligations and service costs. A focused renovation could enhance rental yield or improve energy performance, but purchasers should obtain survey and lease details before committing.
