Set on the third floor of a handsome stucco-fronted period conversion in the heart of South Kensington, this two-bedroom flat delivers a bright, open-plan living space and integrated kitchen appliances. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and the contemporary bathroom keeps the finish simple and move-in ready. At 551 sq ft the layout is compact and suited to buyers seeking a central London pied-à-terre or a well-located first home.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for home working and connectivity. The location is a major selling point: Gloucester Road underground and a wide choice of shops, restaurants and schools are all within easy reach, providing strong day-to-day convenience and rental appeal.
Buyers should note the flat’s modest overall size and traditional solid-brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation; secondary glazing is fitted. The wider local area records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, which may be relevant for purchasers and investors. There is one bathroom and the property occupies the third floor, which affects accessibility.
Overall, this compact period conversion offers central South Kensington living with clear rental or owner-occupier potential, provided buyers accept the small footprint and consider potential energy-efficiency improvements.
