3 bed 2 bath Flat
Large period apartment ideal for cash buyers or refurbishment projects.
Three double bedrooms with large lateral living space (approx. 1,453 sq ft)
Off-street parking provided within the development
Highly desirable Kensington location near Holland Park and High Street
39 years remaining on lease — lenders likely to refuse mortgage
Service charge c. £10,000 per year; high running costs
Council Tax Band H — very expensive for occupants
Community gas heating; solid brick walls likely uninsulated
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; strong local schools nearby
Set within a prestigious Georgian Revival block in central Kensington, this large three-bedroom lateral flat offers generous living space (approximately 1,453 sq ft), off-street parking and high ceilings that reflect the building's period character. Holland Park and Kensington High Street are within easy reach, with excellent transport links and local amenities on the doorstep.
The apartment will suit a buyer seeking a substantial Kensington property to refurbish or hold as a long-term asset. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living; nearby schools include several highly regarded primaries and selective secondary options.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the lease has only 39 years remaining, which will make mortgage finance difficult or impossible for many buyers. The annual service charge is around £10,000 and council tax is very expensive, so running costs are high. The building uses a community gas heating scheme and the original solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so energy upgrades or renovation work may be needed.
This property offers clear upside for a buyer able to proceed cash or organise a lease extension and refurbishment. Check all tenure, service charge and heating details carefully and obtain specialist mortgage and legal advice before committing.
