Own street-level entrance with external steps down to the flat
A well‑proportioned one‑bedroom lower‑ground flat in the heart of Kensington offering unusually generous living space for this price band. The flat has its own street entrance and stairs down to a private west‑facing paved patio, plus direct access to the communal garden square. The large west‑facing reception room brings good afternoon light and there is plentiful built‑in storage throughout.
At approximately 603 sq ft (56 sq m) the layout includes a double bedroom, separate kitchen, study area and a capacious reception — a rare find for a one‑bedroom in W8. Tenure is share of freehold and the annual service charge is about £2,525; Council Tax Band E applies. Local broadband and mobile signal are strong and the area is affluent and well served by shops, restaurants and transport.
Practical considerations: the flat is lower‑ground/garden level, reached by external steps, so it may not suit those needing step‑free access. The building is a Victorian terrace with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age — there may be scope for improved thermal efficiency. The private courtyard is small, and residents share the communal garden square.
For a first‑time buyer or investor seeking central Kensington location with strong rental and lifestyle appeal, this apartment offers roomy living, outdoor space and communal garden access. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and light of the reception and the property’s convenient local position.
