Set on the second floor of a quiet Kensington street, this light-filled one-bedroom apartment combines period character with generous outdoor space. High Victorian ceilings and a bay window give the living room a spacious feel while an open-plan layout maximises the compact footprint. The bedroom and shower room sit on a raised floor that leads directly onto a large 203 sq ft private roof terrace — a rare outdoor asset in central London.
The flat is chain free and offered with a long share-of-freehold lease (978 years), making ownership straightforward for a first-time buyer or pied-à-terre purchaser. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, and the location is within walking distance of High Street Kensington, Earls Court station (Piccadilly & District lines) and nearby royal parks.
Be aware this property is small at approximately 370 sq ft and best suited to one person or a couple who prioritise location and outdoor space over internal living area. Service charges average £2,112 per year and council tax is moderate. The shower-room-only layout and the raised-floor arrangement may not suit buyers seeking step-free accommodation or a bath.
Overall this is a practical central-London entry point: a characterful, well-located home with exceptional private outdoor space and long-term ownership security, balanced by compact internal dimensions and ongoing service costs.
