Set on Kensington High Street, this impressive lateral apartment extends to about 2,905 sq ft across a single floor. The layout includes two large reception rooms, a separate kitchen/breakfast room and five double bedrooms, offering rare, generously proportioned accommodation in a period building with lift access. High ceilings, sash windows and a central fireplace retain period character while rooms feel bright and well‑proportioned.
Residents benefit from 24‑hour security, a gated off‑street parking area (first‑come, first‑served) and lift access, making daily life convenient for families or professionals. The building’s long lease (125 years) and nominal ground rent simplify ownership mechanics, while the central W8 location places shops, transport links and numerous top schools within easy reach.
Buyers should note clear material considerations: the service charge is very high at £27,000 pa, heating is via a community scheme and glazing is secondary rather than newly upgraded. The property is leasehold and located in an area with above‑average crime statistics, which may concern some purchasers. There is no private garden or external amenity shown.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a large, secure central‑London home with strong period character and excellent local schools and transport. It also offers scope for cosmetic modernisation to personalise finishes, but budget accordingly for ongoing service charges and communal heating arrangements.
