Large three‑bedroom mansion‑block flat in prime Kensington, short lease and high service charges.
Spacious 1,458 sq ft lateral apartment with high ceilings and dual aspect light
A beautifully presented three‑bedroom lateral apartment in a 1930s mansion block on Campden Hill, offering high ceilings, dual east–west aspect and generous entertaining space. The double reception and well‑appointed kitchen suit formal dining and relaxed living, while a principal bedroom suite plus two further double bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation. The flat measures approximately 1,458 sq ft and benefits from porter, lift access and ample storage.
Buyers should note the materially short lease: it expires in March 2064 (c.39 years remaining). This level of lease term is likely to deter some mortgage lenders and will require either a cash purchase or specialist lending; a lease extension is possible but will be a significant future cost. Service charges and council tax are high, reflecting the building’s services and location.
The property’s prime Kensington setting places Holland Park, Kensington High Street and excellent schools within easy reach, making it appealing to families and buyers seeking lifestyle and long‑term capital potential. For a purchaser able to manage the lease and service charge considerations, this flat offers a comparatively lower upfront price and reduced Stamp Duty exposure versus long‑lease equivalents, presenting an accessible entry into the W8 market.
