This bright third-floor lateral apartment occupies 673 sqft within an elegant Victorian terrace on a prestigious South Kensington street. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a decorative fireplace retain period character while an open-plan reception and well-equipped kitchen suit contemporary living. The large bedroom sits quietly to the rear and includes generous built-in storage and an en suite bathroom.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 967 years) and share of freehold ownership, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. The location is a major asset: within walking distance of the Natural History and V&A museums, cafes, restaurants and transport links, making it ideal for a professional or first-time buyer seeking central convenience and cultural amenities.
Buyers should note the property uses electric room heaters and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern systems. The service charge is above average (£5,347) and local council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors affect running costs and should be considered alongside purchase price.
Overall this is a well-presented period flat offering character, size and a long lease in one of London’s most desirable pockets. It will suit purchasers prioritising location, architectural charm and a ready-to-move-in layout, but those seeking modern central heating or lower ongoing charges should factor in potential upgrades and running costs.
