Compact, modern pied‑à‑terre in the heart of Kensington with excellent transport links.
Newly renovated open‑plan studio with integrated kitchen
A compact, newly renovated studio in a handsome red‑brick mansion block on Kensington High Street, presented in a crisp modern style. The open‑plan living space and integrated kitchen feel bright and contemporary thanks to large windows, engineered wood floors and recessed lighting — a ready‑to‑move‑into pied‑à‑terre or buy‑to‑let unit.
Practical details suit city living: 101 years remaining on the lease, double glazing, mains gas via a community heating scheme and fast broadband and mobile signal. Transport and local amenities are exceptional, with Kensington High Street station, frequent buses and a wide choice of shops, cafés and restaurants on the doorstep — attractive for professionals or short‑term tenants.
Be clear-eyed about the downsides: the flat is small at around 377 sq ft and sits to the rear/lower level of the building, so it’s best for single occupancy rather than a family. Running costs are notable — an annual service charge of £4,376 and ground rent of £100. Crime in the area is above average; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment offers turnkey, central‑London convenience and strong rental/resale potential, but it carries the typical compromises of a compact city studio: limited space, modest or no private outdoor area, and above‑average communal service costs.
