Tucked on the upper floor of a period building in South Kensington, this two-bedroom apartment combines character details with contemporary living. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from good natural light and wood flooring, while two private terraces give rare outdoor space for the area.
Practical features include off-street residents’ parking, double glazing, mains gas central heating and a very long lease (969 years) as a share of freehold. At about 778–780 sq ft the layout suits a couple or small family, and the terraces extend the living space for alfresco dining or morning coffee.
For investors the property’s central location, proximity to Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations and the area’s strong rental demand are attractive. For owner-occupiers it offers a peaceful city hideaway in an inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood with excellent transport and local amenities.
Buyers should be aware of the higher running costs: the service charge is £5,436 per year and council tax is in Band F. The building’s solid-brick construction likely has no insulation in the walls (as built), and the EPC is C. There is one bathroom and some cosmetic updating may be wanted to suit individual taste.
