Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian townhouse on Holland Road, this 879 sq ft three-bedroom flat blends period charm with contemporary open-plan living. High ceilings, decorative cornices and bay windows frame a bright living room and recently remodelled kitchen-living area, while three built-in-storage bedrooms suit sharers, families or investors.
A notable asset is the granted planning permission for an upward extension from the roof terrace. Current estimated rent (ERV) stands at £36,000 pa with a projected ERV of £65,000 pa after extension — a clear value-add for a buyer prepared to develop. The property is sold as Share of Freehold.
Practical realities are set out plainly: the building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, which can mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. Crime levels in the area are above average, and some buyers may wish to factor in ongoing management or security measures.
Location is a strong selling point: walking distance to Kensington (Olympia), Shepherd’s Bush and West Kensington stations, close to Holland Park and Westfield, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The flat is appropriate for investors seeking refurbishment and uplift, or buyers wanting a central three‑bed with scope to increase value.
