A bright, well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment (approx. 743 sq ft / 69 sqm) on the 5th floor of Kenton Court, an art‑deco portered mansion block on Kensington High Street. The flat offers a large reception, two double bedrooms and a separate kitchen — a good canvas for a modern refurbishment in a central Kensington location.
The building sits directly on Kensington High Street with excellent transport links (Kensington High Street tube, overground at Olympia and multiple buses). Local amenities, restaurants and cultural regeneration at Kensington Olympia are immediate benefits for everyday life and future resale appeal. The lease has about 101 years remaining and ground rent is low.
Notable costs and issues are factual: the apartment needs full renovation, the service charge is high (£7,152 pa) and council tax is expensive. Heating runs via a community scheme and the property has double glazing of unknown installation date. The building dates to the early 20th century and walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation.
This is a practical purchase for a buyer willing to invest in a refurbishment to create a contemporary two‑bedroom home in a central, well‑connected location. Be aware of maintenance costs, communal charges and local crime levels, which are above average; viewings will confirm condition and exact upgrade requirements.
