Set on the raised ground floor of a semi-stucco Victorian building, this impressive one-bedroom apartment offers grand proportions and direct access to landscaped communal gardens. Exceptional ceiling heights (c.3.88 m), original cornicing and a large bay window create a bright, airy reception room that reads like a period home rather than a typical flat. The layout includes two bathrooms, a generous bedroom with extensive built-in wardrobes, and a sizable kitchen/breakfast room fitted with high-end appliances.
The apartment feels simultaneously classic and contemporary: wood flooring and a working gas fireplace sit alongside a modern quartz worktop kitchen with premium fixtures. Outdoor space includes a private patio/terrace and immediate use of the square’s well-kept gardens. Practical advantages include a very long lease (share of freehold, c.990 years) and proximity to Gloucester Road station and local amenities.
Notable costs and limitations are stated plainly. Off-street parking is available but unallocated and on a first-come, first-serve basis. The current average service charge is around £3,000 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building’s solid brick construction likely offers limited cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrades may be worth considering.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking an elegant, characterful London home with generous space for a single occupant or couple, or investors targeting a high-demand South Kensington address. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and garden-facing position.
