Set on the first floor of a handsome white stucco period building in SW5, this two-bedroom apartment combines classic character with modern, ready-to-live-in condition. A large reception room with high ceilings and an open-plan kitchen creates generous entertaining space, while a private terrace enjoys peaceful views over well-kept communal gardens.
Both bedrooms are doubles and the flat includes two bathrooms, making it practical for sharers or a small family. The property has double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The long lease (972 years) gives security for purchase, and the building sits within the Courtfield Conservation Area close to Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations.
Costs to note: the annual service charge is about £3,000 and council tax is in Band G (quite expensive). The building’s solid brick walls were built 1900–1929 and are assumed uninsulated, so buyers who prioritise energy efficiency may want to allow for potential improvements.
This flat will suit buyers seeking a move-in ready, characterful home in a highly desirable Kensington location—families or professionals who value garden views, generous room proportions and excellent local schools. It also presents sensible long-lease ownership in an affluent area with strong transport links and amenities nearby.
