Private balcony with dual-aspect natural light
Lift in block and live-in porter for added convenience

This bright, third-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in an attractive Edwardian red-brick mansion block on a quiet Chelsea street. Recently redecorated throughout and benefitting from a new communal gas boiler (2023), the flat offers a private balcony, dual-aspect light and lift access, making it easy to enjoy central London living without stairs.
Practical running costs are straightforward: the long lease (981 years) and low ground rent (£200/year) are strong legal advantages, while the service charge covers heating, hot water, porterage, lift and buildings insurance. The location is a principal selling point — shops, cafes and restaurants are a minute’s walk away and South Kensington station is around 0.5 miles.
The apartment is average in footprint for a central London one-bed and has been reconfigured to create a larger bathroom and a small kitchen opening to the reception room. The communal rose gardens provide private outdoor space and bike storage can be arranged within the grounds.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the building’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated and windows are secondary glazed, so thermal performance will be lower than modern standards. Council Tax is Band E (above average), and although newly redecorated, the flat presents typical period-block maintenance responsibilities and communal management arrangements.
