A compact, characterful studio on the first floor of a Victorian terrace in Holland Park, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a central London base. The apartment benefits from impressively high ceilings, attractive wooden flooring and a leafy outlook that brings welcome natural light into the living space. At approximately 325 sq ft the layout is small and efficiently arranged — best suited to a single occupant or couple wanting a pied-à-terre or starter home.
Practical positives include share of freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and excellent transport links (Central, District and Circle lines nearby). Local amenities, well-regarded schools and Westfield/Kensington High Street are all within easy reach, making everyday life convenient. Council Tax Band C is relatively affordable for the area.
Buyers should note the apartment’s modest internal area and narrow footprint; rooms are compact and likely require modest updating to maximise comfort and resale value. The building is a Victorian solid-brick construction (pre‑1900) with assumed no cavity wall insulation — potential energy efficiency works may be needed. There is no private outdoor space and the local crime rate is above average, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this property offers period charm and central convenience for someone prioritising location and character over space. It can work well as a low-maintenance first home or rental investment, provided you accept the small size and consider sensible upgrades for insulation and layout efficiency.
