Bright, compact and characterful, this top-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a Victorian townhouse on peaceful Earls Court Gardens. Large windows and high ceilings give the small living area a light, airy feel uncommon at this size, while modern double glazing and a fitted kitchen create a comfortable city home. The flat is best suited to a single buyer or couple seeking a central West London base or a buy-to-let in a well-connected area.
Practical strengths include an exceptionally long lease (973 years) and share of freehold ownership, giving long-term security. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and Earls Court transport links and local amenities are a short walk away. Nearby schools and a variety of shops, cafés and services add everyday convenience.
Notable costs and constraints are straightforward: the property is small (426 sq ft), the EPC rating is D, and annual service charges average £4,000 with a modest £100 ground rent. The building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), which may mean improvement work to reduce heating bills and improve comfort. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high; buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their plans.
Overall this flat represents a convenient central location, strong leasehold security and attractive natural light, balanced by its compact size, running costs and local safety profile. It will suit a first-time buyer seeking central living or an investor targeting rental demand in Earls Court.
