Set on the third floor of an elegant Victorian terrace on Elvaston Place, this one-bedroom apartment pairs grand period character with a practical open-plan layout. High ceilings, decorative plasterwork and a fireplace create a striking living space, while the well-equipped kitchen and generous bedroom with built-in storage and en suite bathroom make it a comfortable central London home.
The location is a major strength: South Kensington’s museums, transport links and high-end amenities are moments away, making the flat ideal for a professional seeking culture and convenience. The long lease (c.966 years) and share of freehold provide ownership security that many central London flats lack.
Buyers should note some ongoing costs and constraints. The property relies on electric room heaters rather than a central heating system and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. Service charges are above average and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors affect running costs and may be relevant if you plan further energy upgrades.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer who values location and period character, wants a low-risk long lease and is comfortable with higher service and running costs. There is also scope to personalise finishes and improve energy performance if desired.
