Summary - Flat 2, 96 Philbeach Gardens SW5 9ET
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Quiet period home with private communal garden and conversion potential near transport.
270 yards to Earl’s Court Tube (District & Piccadilly lines)
Set on a quiet, tree-lined crescent just 270 yards from Earl’s Court station, this raised-ground apartment combines classic period character with practical, low running costs. Tall sash windows and high ceilings let in abundant light, and residents enjoy direct access to a large, well-kept private communal garden — a rare outdoor asset in central London.
Recently fitted with a gas boiler and a new electrical consumer unit, the home has exceptionally low outgoings: a service charge of only £1,220 per year and no ground rent. The apartment is offered chain-free and comes with a very long lease (949 years) plus a 25% share of the freehold shared between just four residents, simplifying long-term ownership.
Currently configured as a one-bedroom with a separate kitchen, the layout is straightforward to adapt into a two-bedroom or a one-bedroom plus home office/shower-room, adding flexibility and potential value. The solid-brick, pre-1900 building retains period appeal but likely lacks modern wall insulation, so further improvements could raise comfort and efficiency.
A few practical points to note: the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation versus wider London averages, and council tax is above average. Lease-related paperwork and potential fees (e.g., lease packs) may apply, and prospective buyers should arrange a survey to check services and structure despite recent electrical and heating upgrades.
