Light-filled one-bedroom on Old Church Street, freshly renovated and quietly positioned on the third floor of a period conversion. The open-plan kitchen and reception take advantage of generous ceiling heights and south-facing open views over Roper’s Orchard, creating an airy, contemporary living space in central Chelsea.
The flat measures approximately 452 sq ft, with a compact bedroom and a contemporary ensuite. Fixtures and finishes are modern and in immaculate condition, suitable for immediate occupation. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support a city-working lifestyle, while nearby shops, cafés and transport links put King's Road amenities within easy reach.
Buyers should note the material lease and cost considerations: just 55–56 years remain on the lease, which will likely restrict mortgage lending and limit mortgage options. Service charge is about £3,000 per year, ground rent £200, and council tax is described as expensive. The building’s timber-frame walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may affect thermal performance and future works.
This property will suit a buyer able to purchase with cash or a specialist mortgage, or someone seeking a well-presented pied-à-terre in Chelsea with immediate move-in condition. It also offers potential for lease extension negotiations, though buyers should obtain lender and legal advice before committing.
