This spacious one-bedroom lateral flat occupies the ground floor of a handsome Victorian building in Strathmore Gardens, Kensington W8. The property benefits from a grand reception with a large bay window that fills the room with light, high ceilings and an open-plan contemporary kitchen fitted with Miele appliances — an appealing combination for tenants or buyers seeking period character with modern convenience.
The apartment extends to approximately 658 sq ft, with a well-proportioned double bedroom and good built-in storage. Its location is a major asset: close to Notting Hill Gate and Kensington High Street transport hubs (Central, District and Circle lines) and within easy reach of Kensington Gardens and Holland Park, supporting strong rental demand and long-term capital prospects.
There are important practical considerations. The lease has about 89 years remaining and the property is held as a share of freehold; service charges are relatively high at £4,320 per year and ground rent is £300. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation and may require energy-efficiency upgrades. Local crime statistics are high, and council tax is described as quite expensive; both should be factored into running-cost and resale calculations.
