A bright one-bedroom garden flat in West Kensington offering generous proportions and private outdoor space. Set within a well-maintained Victorian conversion, the flat benefits from its own entrance, a bay-fronted reception and a flexible additional room suitable for a study, gym or occasional guest bedroom.
The accommodation feels larger than typical one-beds at approximately 678 sq ft, with a double bedroom, en suite bathroom and a kitchen opening to a private patio and access to a larger shared garden. The property is chain-free, offered with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (950 years), providing security for buyers and low ongoing ground rent.
Practical points to note: the building dates from the early 20th century and walls are solid brick with no known insulation, which may affect heating costs. Service charge and sinking fund contributions are modest (£600 and £200 annually respectively). The shared garden is currently mostly used by one neighbouring property, though there is potential to agree a clearer division with owners.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a spacious, characterful home close to High Street Kensington, Olympia and excellent transport links. It also offers straightforward rental appeal for investors thanks to location and private outdoor space, though buyers should allow for possible energy-efficiency upgrades in a period building.
