Situated on the first floor of a well-maintained block in central Kensington, this one-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, modern living for a professional or couple. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen maximise the 461 sqft footprint, creating light, usable space in a sought-after W8 location with excellent transport links and abundant local amenities.
Practical running costs are clear: an average service charge of £3,156pa and ground rent of £200pa. The property has double glazing, mains gas central heating and a current EPC rating of C. Lift access and a tidy communal entrance add convenience for everyday life.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has approximately 84 years remaining, which will need extension sooner rather than later and may affect mortgage availability and cost. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and local crime levels are high; buyers should factor these into future plans. Despite these issues, the area is very affluent with strong local schools, shops and transport, offering good long-term demand for owner-occupiers or investors.
