Summary - Palace Garden Terrace W8 4RP
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Period charm with private east-facing garden and long lease in prime Kensington.
Approximately 617 sq ft; raised ground-floor one-bedroom flat
Quietly set on the raised ground floor of a handsome stucco terrace on Palace Garden Terrace, this one-bedroom apartment combines classic Victorian character with a rare private garden. At about 617 sq ft the layout includes a large reception room, double bedroom and a substantial east-facing garden that brings morning sun and outdoor space rarely found at this address. Its long lease (circa 950 years) and share of freehold are practical ownership strengths for the area.
The location is a major draw: tree-lined streets, immediate access to Kensington High Street, Notting Hill Gate and Hyde Park, plus excellent transport links and local shops and cafés. The neighbourhood profile is highly qualified and affluent, with top-performing state and independent schools close by, making this a convenient base for professionals or a couple wanting central Kensington living.
The apartment requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical updates are needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Service charges average £1,500 and council tax is high; the building also appears to have solid brick walls with little insulation, so energy efficiency upgrades should be expected. These factors lower the immediate out-of-the-box convenience but create clear opportunity for value-add renovation or a tailored refurbishment.
In short, this is a period property with garden and strong location credentials for someone prepared to invest time and funds into updating. It suits buyers seeking central Kensington character, a long lease and outdoor space, and offers potential to add value through careful refurbishment.
