Generous ceiling heights and period detail in South Kensington, close to Gloucester Road tube.
Raised ground-floor one-bedroom with 3.4m high ceilings
A raised-ground one-bedroom apartment in a handsome terracotta-brick Victorian building, offering striking 3.4m ceiling heights and original period detail. The large reception room with a bay window and a separate fitted kitchen create a comfortable, well-proportioned layout suited to a single buyer or couple.
Practical advantages include a good-sized double bedroom with built-in storage, a bathroom plus separate guest WC, and a share of freehold tenure. Gloucester Road tube is about 480 metres away and local shops, cafés and bus routes are all within easy reach, making daily travel and amenities straightforward.
Be clear about running costs and upgrade potential: the current service charge averages £3,635 per year and council tax is described as expensive. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated in places (typical of the period), so modest fabric or insulation works could improve comfort and energy efficiency despite the current EPC of 70 (potential 81).
Overall, this property suits buyers seeking period character and generous vertical space in a prime South Kensington location. It offers immediate livability with scope to personalise and improve energy performance, balanced against service costs and typical maintenance responsibilities of an older mid-terrace building.
