Set over approximately 2,700 sq ft on the second floor, this substantial four-bedroom lateral apartment delivers true Kensington proportions: high ceilings, a bright double reception/dining room and a separate eat-in kitchen. The layout suits family life and generous entertaining, with good built-in storage and a private lock-up room. Melbury Court’s gated entrance, 24-hour concierge and lift add practical convenience and security.
Position is a major draw: the apartment sits moments from Holland Park, the Design Museum and the shops and restaurants of Kensington High Street. Several well-regarded primary and independent schools are within easy reach, and local transport links provide fast access across London and to the A4/M4 corridor.
Important practical cautions are material to any purchase decision. The lease has only 35 years remaining; many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and lease extension costs can be significant. The service charge is circa £26,481 per annum and council tax sits in Band H, both of which materially increase ongoing costs.
The building dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls and secondary glazing; there is no assumed cavity insulation and heating is via a community scheme. These factors, together with the short lease and high running costs, make this property best suited to a cash buyer, a purchaser prepared for lease-extension work, or an investor aware of the financing constraints.
