This one-bedroom apartment in Lord Kensington House offers a high-spec, low-maintenance home in a prime Kensington location. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen, engineered wood flooring, underfloor heating and comfort cooling create a contemporary base ideal for a single professional or couple. A long lease (around 968–999 years) provides tenure security uncommon in central London.
Residents benefit from substantial on-site amenities: 24-hour concierge, landscaped courtyard, private cinema, swimming pool, spa and gym — features that support convenience, lifestyle and strong rental appeal. The flat’s large picture window brings good natural light, though the outlook is to an inner courtyard and neighbouring blocks rather than open views.
Buyers should note the ownership costs: an above-average annual service charge (approx. £7,977.38) and ground rent (approx. £776 pa), plus relatively expensive council tax. The building sits in an area with higher crime statistics and pockets of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental perception for some buyers.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a turn-key urban pied-à-terre or a buy-to-let asset with premium amenities and secure tenure. It presents good rental potential and lifestyle convenience, balanced by notable running costs and an inner-courtyard outlook.
