Set within a grand Victorian terrace on Courtfield Gardens, this 1,186 sq ft two-bedroom apartment combines classic proportions with high-spec modern finishes. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room has dual-aspect windows, a stylish island, Bosch appliances, a Quooker tap and integrated ceiling speakers — an easy space for everyday family life and for entertaining. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and herringbone floors retain period character throughout.
Both bedrooms are generous doubles with fitted wardrobes; the principal bedroom benefits from a bay window and an en-suite. A separate family bathroom and a useful utility room add practical convenience. The flat includes lift access and shared use of the private 19th-century Courtfield Gardens square, a rare outside amenity in this part of South Kensington.
The property sits in a prime central location with Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court stations close by, rapid links across central London and easy reach of Hyde Park, shops and schools. Share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (circa 946 years) are clear ownership strengths for buyers seeking security.
Notable costs and practical issues are stated plainly: the annual service charge is high at £8,825 and council tax is described as quite expensive, which will affect running costs. The building is of solid brick construction with no presumed cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds. Crime is reported above average for the area; buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security arrangements. Overall this is a large, characterful apartment in a premium central location that will suit families or professionals who prioritise space, period charm and excellent transport links, while accepting higher ongoing charges and the maintenance realities of an older building.
