A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a purpose-built 1930s block in central Kensington. Large windows and contemporary finishes create an airy, modern feel while the porter service and proximity to High Street Kensington add everyday convenience. The layout and location make this a practical pied-à-terre, first home, or rental investment for a buyer seeking central London living.
The apartment measures approximately 395 sq ft and is compact but efficiently arranged with a reception room, separate kitchen and one bathroom. Heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme and double glazing is installed, though the glazing pre-dates 2002. The building appears well maintained and benefits from concierge/porter cover.
Key financial and tenure facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with around 89 years remaining, an annual service charge averaging £3,426 and modest ground rent (£150). These running costs and the lease length will affect mortgageability and long-term value, so buyers should obtain lender and legal advice early.
Practical points to note: the building’s solid brick construction likely has limited cavity insulation and internal refurbishment may be required to suit stricter future conservation or efficiency standards. The location is central and affluent but local crime statistics are high, which buyers should consider when assessing suitability and insurance. Overall this is a well-located, compact central London apartment that suits buyers prioritising location and convenience over square footage.
