A compact, well presented third-floor studio in a portered block on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in W8. The flat benefits from lift access, concierge/porter service and large windows that deliver natural light to the main living/sleeping space. Interiors include wooden floors, built-in storage and a separate fitted kitchen and bathroom. The gross internal area is small (around 331 sq ft), making this a city pied-à-terre or entry-level purchase rather than a primary family home.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with about 88 years remaining, ground rent c. £30 pa and a service charge of £4,438 pa (above average). Council tax is moderate. Heating is via a communal scheme and the building dates from the post‑war period (1950–1966), so major structural form is brick mid‑terrace construction; there’s no private garden or balcony.
Location is a clear strength — moments from Kensington High Street and Notting Hill Gate with fast transport links, shops and parks (Kensington Gardens and Holland Park within walking distance). That urban convenience supports either a first-time buyer seeking a central base or an investor targeting rental demand in a premium postcode.
Notable drawbacks are material and should be weighed: the flat is very small (studio layout), the annual service charge is high for the size, and local recorded crime levels are very high. These factors affect running costs, security considerations and long‑term suitability for some buyers. For anyone seeking a compact, well-maintained central Kensington property, this offers immediate convenience and easy management; those needing outdoor space or family accommodation will need to look elsewhere.
