Summary - 3 MALL CHAMBERS LONDON W8 4DY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact central pied-à-terre near parks and transport for first-time buyers.
Raised ground-floor flat in a Victorian mansion block
A compact raised ground-floor apartment in a handsome Victorian mansion block, set between Kensington Church Street and Notting Hill. The flat offers a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en‑suite bathroom, a spacious reception room with semi open-plan kitchen, high ceilings and pleasant communal garden views from the bedroom.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (to 2884) with share of freehold, triple glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Its location is a strong draw: short walks to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, excellent local transport links and a wide range of shops, cafes and schools nearby.
Be clear about limitations: the overall size is small (approximately 412 sq ft) and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating needs despite triple glazing. Annual service charge is about £1,600 and the local area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some buyers.
This property suits a first-time London buyer seeking a characterful, well-located pied-à-terre or a rental investor wanting a compact central flat with long lease security. It will appeal to those prioritising location, period features and outdoor communal space over roomy floor area.
