Set over the fourth and fifth floors of a handsome period building in South Kensington, this well‑presented two‑bedroom apartment extends to approximately 935 sq ft and combines period character with contemporary finishes. Two double bedrooms both feature built‑in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, while an open‑plan living and dining area delivers bright, flexible entertaining space. The private roof terrace provides usable outside space and far‑reaching rooftop views across the neighbourhood.
Practical strengths include direct lift access to the top floors, a very long lease (c.959 years) and share of freehold ownership, making this a straightforward long‑term hold. The location is central: Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations are within easy reach, and the street sits amid shops, cafés and restaurants useful for everyday life.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building’s original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and may benefit from energy‑efficiency improvements, council tax is described as quite expensive, and there is a small ground rent of £200. The apartment occupies upper floors, which delivers light and views but may not suit buyers seeking step‑free street access despite the lift.
Overall this apartment will suit professionals or a small family seeking a stylish, central home with outdoor roof space and strong transport links. There is also sensible scope for minor upgrades to improve thermal performance and personalise finishes.
