Set within a handsome Victorian stucco terrace, this large two-bedroom apartment offers generous 920 sq ft accommodation and classic period features. A bright open-plan kitchen/reception sits beneath high ceilings and a bay window; a mezzanine reception adds flexible living or home-working space. Large communal gardens provide private outdoor space rarely found so close to High Street Kensington and Olympia.
Practical strengths include a very long 999-year lease with share of freehold, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — ideal for remote working or streaming. Local amenities are comprehensive, with outstanding and highly regarded schools nearby and frequent public transport links for central London access.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters (no central heating), windows were double glazed before 2002, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation. There is just one bathroom plus a separate WC. Council tax is above average and local crime statistics are above average compared with national levels.
This property will suit buyers who prioritise space, period character and location and who are comfortable updating heating and insulation. It offers strong potential for physical improvement and long-term value in a prime west London pocket.
