Compact, bright West Kensington flat with private balcony and long lease.
Approximately 473–480 sq ft one-bedroom apartment
This one-bedroom West Kensington apartment offers a compact, well-lit home with period character and a rare private balcony for the area. At about 473–480 sq ft the layout is efficiently planned: a bright reception room, separate kitchen, generous double bedroom and a bathroom — suitable for first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or a London pied-à-terre.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (110 years), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, and very low flooding risk. The property sits on a quiet residential street with excellent local amenities and fast transport links (District & Piccadilly lines nearby), making commuting and everyday life convenient.
Be clear about the work likely needed: the kitchen is dated and compact and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no installed insulation, so cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements are probable. There’s no visible garden or large external amenity; the balcony is small but valuable in this location.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry into West Kensington property — bright, characterful and well placed — but buyers should budget for kitchen upgrades and possible insulation or energy improvements. Its combination of location, private outdoor space and long lease make it an attractive option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a central London flat.
