Set on a quiet Kensington street, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers bright, compact living with a private terrace and west-facing rooftop views. At about 430 sq ft it maximises space with a thoughtfully arranged kitchen/reception and good bedroom storage, making it a practical pied-à-terre or rental unit in a highly desirable postcode.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character while interiors read as modern and neutral, benefitting from high ceilings and plentiful natural light. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are within easy walking distance, and local boutiques, cafés and transport links on Kensington Church Street are moments away.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining, service charges around £2,500 per year and a small ground rent of £100. The property sits on solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and uses mains gas boiler heating—buyers should factor potential improvement and maintenance costs into their plans.
This home suits a buyer seeking a central, low-risk London base with good rental potential or a first home in a coveted W8 location. While compact, the private terrace and location deliver genuine lifestyle value; lease extension and energy-efficiency upgrades are available routes to add long-term value.
