One bathroom for three bedrooms; two additional separate WCs

Set over the ground and first floors of a handsome period building, this three-bedroom maisonette offers generous ceiling heights, period detail and a private patio garden in the heart of Kensington. The layout separates living and sleeping areas: reception and dining to the first floor with a separate kitchen, while the bedrooms and main bathroom sit on the ground floor with direct garden access. Double glazing and gas central boiler with underfloor heating help modernise comfort.
The location is a major selling point — a quiet no-through road a short walk from Kensington Gardens, High Street Kensington shops and excellent transport links (Piccadilly, District and Circle lines). Several well-regarded independent and state schools are within easy reach, making the property suitable for families or professionals who want central living near green space.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the maisonette is offered as a share of freehold, EPC rated D, and carries an average service charge of around £2,000 a year. There is only one full bathroom for three bedrooms plus two separate WCs, and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated internally. The area records above-average crime and council tax is described as quite expensive — all relevant to running costs and comfort.
Overall, the flat suits buyers seeking a characterful central Kensington home with outside space and good schools nearby, who are prepared for typical period-property maintenance and a modest energy efficiency upgrade. It also offers scope for cosmetic or layout improvements to increase long-term value.
