Set directly opposite Holland Park, this raised ground-floor studio occupies a Grade II listed Italianate villa and offers grand proportions, abundant natural light and original period detail. The large studio room, high ceilings and sash windows leading to a small balcony create excellent living and entertaining space with direct access down to a communal garden.
The apartment is unmodernised and requires renovation throughout; heating is by electric room heaters and walls are likely uninsulated, so expect upgrade costs for comfort and efficiency. The layout is currently a studio with separate kitchen and bathroom but could be converted to a one-bedroom subject to the necessary listed-building and planning consents.
Important practical considerations: the lease has approximately 46 years remaining, which will significantly restrict mortgage options and may deter many lenders. The property’s listed status also constrains changes and may increase refurbishment times and costs. Service charge and ground rent apply, and council tax is noted as expensive.
For a buyer who can manage the lease and listed-building constraints, this flat offers rare central-London potential: generous proportions, original features and a superb Holland Park location close to shops, transport and excellent schools. It suits a buyer looking to create a striking period home or an investor prepared to buy with cash or specialist lending.
