Situated on Kensington High Street, this lateral five-bedroom apartment occupies roughly 2,900–3,000 sq ft in a handsome late‑Victorian/Georgian-style building with lift and 24-hour security. The layout includes two large reception rooms, a formal dining room, separate kitchen/breakfast room and three bathrooms, offering true family-scale living in a central west‑London location close to excellent schools and transport links.
The principal rooms are bright with large sash windows, high ceilings and period detail that lend character and a strong sense of place. The apartment reads as a well‑proportioned home that will suit families or professionals who need generous entertaining space and secure communal facilities, plus gated parking on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold (about 124 years remaining), on a community heating scheme with mains gas, and fitted with secondary glazing. The building’s walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should allow for potential thermal upgrades. Service charges are very high at c. £27,000pa, which materially affects running costs and should be factored into affordability calculations.
This apartment offers substantial upside for buyers seeking central, period living with scope for cosmetic modernisation. It is best for purchasers who prioritise space, security and location and who are comfortable with a significant service charge and the responsibilities of a long leasehold in a prime urban setting.
