Summary - WINCHESTER COURT FLAT 61 VICARAGE GATE LONDON W8 4AE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Central location with modern presentation and strong rental appeal for urban buyers.
Two double bedrooms with full-width balcony and good natural light
Set on an upper floor of a well-known Art Deco mansion block, this two-bedroom apartment offers compact central London living with a full-width balcony and porter service. The open-plan reception/kitchen is bright and presented in a contemporary style, making the flat immediately liveable. Share of freehold and lift access are practical benefits in a prime W8 location close to Kensington High Street and local amenities.
Buyers should be aware the apartment is modest in size (approximately 606 sq ft) with a single bathroom—suitable for a couple, small family, or buy-to-let. The building dates from the mid-20th century and has secondary glazing and a community heating scheme; walls are system-built with no assumed insulation, which may affect thermal efficiency and running costs. Council Tax is in a higher band and charges should be factored into ownership costs.
The property’s strengths are location, presentation and external amenity: a full-width balcony, good natural light and contemporary fittings reduce immediate refurbishment needs. Material considerations include potential heat loss due to construction type, reliance on a community heating scheme, and the local area’s high recorded crime levels — important for occupiers and investors to evaluate.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers prioritising central position, low immediate redecoration, and rental demand rather than large internal space. Investigate service charges, exact heating arrangements, and building maintenance records before proceeding; these will influence running costs and longer-term value.
