Set on the first floor of Ilchester Mansions, this 994 sq ft two-bedroom apartment combines handsome Victorian character with clear scope for improvement. The principal reception room is large, with a pronounced bay, tall sash windows and high ceilings that create excellent natural light and strong rental or resale appeal. The building presents attractive period detailing externally and is located moments south of Kensington High Street, with Holland Park and transport links close by.
The accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, a generous reception, separate kitchen and one bathroom. The layout works well for professional sharers or a buy-to-let conversion, but the flat requires full modernisation: worn finishes, evident mold/damp in places and dated services mean immediate refurbishment and possible remedial work will be needed. The apartment is leasehold; buyers should review lease length and service charges as part of due diligence.
This is an opportunity to create a stylish London home or a high-yield central rental by upgrading finishes, reconfiguring space where permitted, and improving services. The location, apartment size and period features are the primary value drivers; the material drawbacks (repair needs, single bathroom, higher local crime levels) are reflected in the pricing and must be factored into refurbishment budgets.
