Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 5 Dukes Lane W8 4JL
3 bed 2 bath Maisonette
Spacious central home with private outdoor space and long lease.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including en-suite
A rare three-bedroom, two-bath maisonette in the heart of Kensington, this ground-floor property offers generous living space (approximately 1,228 sq ft) and a private garden — a valuable city asset. The reception and open-plan kitchen are bright and contemporary, with large glass doors and a glass extension that bring the outside in for easy entertaining and family life. The master benefits from an en-suite; two further bedrooms and a second bathroom complete a practical layout across multiple levels.
Built before 1900, the mid-terrace building retains period character while presenting a modern interior feel. Mains gas boiler and radiator heating provide reliable warmth; mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent. The long lease (975 years) removes common short-lease concerns, and the property’s Kensington location places shops, cafes and top schools moments away.
Buyers should note important practical points: the property is leasehold with an average ground rent of £400, and council tax is high. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrading may be desirable. The immediate area records very high crime levels, which may affect some purchasers’ sense of security and insurance costs.
This maisonette will suit a family or professional couple seeking central space with outdoor amenity and excellent transport and school options, while being comfortable with leasehold tenure and potential retrofit or security investment.
