A well-presented lower-ground two-bedroom flat in a portered Art Deco mansion block, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Kensington convenience. The apartment benefits from lift access, communal gardens, allocated parking and in-building storage, all within easy walking distance of Holland Park, Kensington High Street and Earls Court stations.
At about 412 sq ft the layout is compact but efficiently arranged with a separate kitchen, open-plan living/dining and two bedrooms. The property sits on a long lease (share of freehold) — an uncommon practical advantage — and has modest ground rent. The building’s community heating and mains gas supply are in place, and double glazing has been fitted (install date unknown).
Buyers should note a few material points: the flat is small by London standards and on the lower-ground floor, which may reduce natural light despite large windows. The EPC rating is E and the original solid-brick construction likely lacks modern wall insulation, so energy costs and retrofit work should be considered. Service charges are approximately £3,000 per year.
Overall this apartment offers a convenient, secure base in a sought-after W8 address with scope for cosmetic improvement and energy upgrades. It will suit a buyer prioritising location, building amenities and long lease security over generous floor area.
