Set on the second floor of a portered building in South Kensington, this 800 sq ft two-bedroom flat offers comfortable city living with generous reception space and a balcony. The building benefits from 24-hour porterage and on-site leisure facilities (David Lloyd — membership required). The flat is presented in good condition and has a long lease of 222 years.
Practical points for buyers: the property uses electric storage heaters and double glazing of unknown install date; communal costs are high with an annual service charge around £10,000, ground rent of £1,000, and a relatively costly council tax band. There is garage parking, which is a strong local advantage in this area, but buyers should factor ongoing charges into overall running costs.
This location suits buyers seeking central London convenience — Gloucester Road tube is moments away, with easy access to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and notable local schools. The accommodation is adaptable: the sizable reception and separate kitchen offer scope for layout tweaks, while the stable, long lease provides ownership security.
Overall, the flat is a practical, well-located option for someone prioritising location, building services and short-term move-in readiness, provided the purchaser is comfortable with above-average service charges and electric heating.
