Summary - FLAT 78, CHESIL COURT, 85 CHELSEA MANOR STREET SW3 5QS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom Chelsea flat with terrace — short lease and high service charges noted.
South-facing seventh-floor flat with private terrace and city views
Two double bedrooms and a large bright reception room
Approx. 702 sq ft; period building with modern neutral finish
Porter and secure block; close to King’s Road amenities and transport
Leasehold with only ~44 years remaining—mortgage risk likely
High annual service charge (~£11,000) and costly council tax
Community mains-gas heating; double glazing fitted before 2002
Solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation
Set on the seventh floor of Chesil Court, this south-facing two-bedroom flat offers bright living spaces and a private terrace with city views. The reception room is generous for the size, and both bedrooms are true doubles with large windows and built-in storage. A porter, secure block and proximity to the King’s Road add everyday convenience and desirable Chelsea address appeal.
The apartment measures about 702 sq ft and retains period mid-20th century construction with solid brick walls and double glazing installed before 2002. Heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme; the interior presents a modern, neutral finish that will suit buyers seeking a move-in option or cosmetic updating rather than structural work.
Important practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with around 44 years remaining. That short lease length is likely to limit mortgage availability and could require a cash purchase or early lease extension cost. Service charges are high (about £11,000 per year) and council tax is described as quite expensive; these running costs must be factored into affordability.
This home will suit a buyer wanting a central Chelsea base with secure block living and outside space, particularly someone able to proceed without standard mortgage lending or willing to investigate lease extension costs. It’s a convenient, well-located property with clear pros and identifiable financial hurdles to resolve up front.
