Summary - Flat 6, 48 Thurloe Square SW7 2SX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious two-bedroom flat overlooking a rare communal garden in prime SW7.
Large 918 sqft two-bedroom flat with classic period features
Set on one of South Kensington’s most prestigious garden squares, this spacious two-double-bedroom flat offers classic period character and generous rooms across c. 918 sqft. Large windows face the communal Thurloe Square gardens, bringing abundant natural light to the main reception and creating an attractive pied-à-terre or central London home. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, bathroom and a cloakroom, presented in good condition and ready to move into.
Practical positives include a long lease (131 years remaining), mains gas supply on a community heating scheme, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for city working. Access to the communal gardens is available by separate negotiation and is one of the few squares nearby that allows dogs, adding a rare outdoor amenity in this part of Kensington and Chelsea.
Buyers should consider the material costs: the annual service charge is high (£7,092) and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics and wider area indicators of deprivation, so buyers seeking quieter or lower-cost running expenses should weigh these factors against the location and size. The building is solid-brick and pre-1900 construction, which may limit insulation and upgrade options without renovation.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, characterful central-London property suited to someone wanting a prominent South Kensington address, a roomy pied-à-terre, or a long-lease investment with immediate rental appeal. Transparency on service costs and local area issues ensures the right buyer can assess the balance between prime location and running costs.
