Set on the first floor of an attractive Art Deco block on Brompton Road, this bright two-bedroom apartment offers a rare 900+ sqft footprint in SW3. The 25' double reception, high ceilings and large windows create a spacious, light-filled living space ideal for central London living. Practical conveniences include a porter, lift and step-free access, making day-to-day life straightforward.
The location is the flat’s strongest selling point: immediate access to Brompton Road shops, Harrods and the cultural amenities of South Kensington. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working and streaming. The apartment’s main heating is a mains-gas boiler with radiators; the building’s solid brick construction gives character, though insulation upgrades could improve comfort and running costs.
Important drawbacks are clear and material. The lease has only 49 years remaining — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and extending the lease will be costly. Service charges are high at about £8,000 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive. Crime in the local area is recorded as very high, which some purchasers will weigh heavily.
This property will suit buyers who prioritise location, space and character and who can purchase without standard mortgage lending (cash buyers or those prepared to arrange specialist finance). It also offers potential for sensible investment through refurbishment or a lease extension, but buyers must budget for significant upfront and ongoing service costs and factor in safety considerations given local crime statistics.
