Summary - 42 FLAT 3 ELVASTON PLACE LONDON SW7 5NP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful period flat near Hyde Park with strong rental potential.
Third-floor one-bedroom with lift and generous high-ceiling reception
A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment on the third floor (with lift) of a handsome period building in South Kensington. The living room benefits from 3.1m ceilings, tall sash-style windows and original fireplace details that give a strong sense of light and character. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom; there's also a separate guest WC for convenience.
The flat extends to approximately 627 sq ft, presented in good decorative order with timber floors and double glazing installed after 2002. The kitchen is a smart galley layout and the accommodation suits an owner-occupier or a buy-to-let investor given central SW7 location and strong rental demand nearby. Hyde Park, Gloucester Road and Kensington High Street amenities are within easy walking distance.
Practical points to note: the lease has around 95 years remaining and the property is sold as a share of freehold. Service charges are above average at £5,312 pa and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building is of solid brick construction (likely with limited wall insulation) and the apartment would benefit from modest modernisation of the kitchen and soft finishes to increase value.
Overall this is a characterful central London one-bedroom with high ceilings, good natural light and clear refurbishment potential. It will suit someone seeking a well-located city base or a landlord targeting strong SW7 lettings; buyers seeking outdoor space or long lease terms should note the lack of a garden and the sub-100-year lease term.
