Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom apartment in vintage mansion block near Westbourne Grove.
Large lateral flat, 933 sq ft, spacious reception and high ceilings
A spacious two-bedroom lateral apartment in a handsome Victorian mansion block, recently renovated to a high standard and arranged over 933 sq ft. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower and generous storage; a second double bedroom and a large family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. High ceilings, wood floors and a cosy gas fireplace give the reception room character while the separate modern kitchen is fully fitted for everyday living.
St. Stephens Mansions presents a grand arrival with a marble entrance hall and lift access, convenient for Westbourne Grove and Bayswater amenities and strong transport links (Central, District and Circle lines). The flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and an extremely long lease (994 years), making it straightforward for mortgage or investment purposes.
Buyers should note some recurring costs and local issues: the service charge is above average at around £5,000 pa and council tax is also higher than typical. Crime statistics for the wider area are high, so prospective purchasers should factor in personal security and insurance costs. There is no private garden and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated in places, which may affect long-term energy efficiency despite recent upgrades.
This property will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful flat in Notting Hill — ideal for professionals or a family wanting bright, lateral living close to schools, cafés and shops. It offers move-in-ready accommodation with scope for cosmetic personalisation rather than major structural work.
