Victorian character, communal garden, long lease and share of freehold in SW5.
Third-floor two-bedroom apartment in period stucco-fronted building
Set within a handsome stucco-fronted period building on Earls Court Square, this two-bedroom third-floor apartment combines classic Victorian character with practical living. The light, high-ceilinged reception room opens to a small balcony overlooking the communal garden square, while a semi open-plan kitchen offers integrated appliances for everyday convenience. At about 744 sq ft the layout is comfortably sized for central London living.
Ownership is straightforward: a long lease (remaining c. 987 years) and share of freehold provide security for buyers. The property has an EPC rating of C and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. Secondary glazing helps with noise and insulation, but the original solid brick walls are understood to have no built-in insulation.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: an average service charge of about £2,300pa and an “expensive” council tax band will affect running costs. The flat is on the third floor with no lift mentioned, so access may be less suitable for mobility-restricted buyers. The apartment has a single family bathroom and would suit those seeking a stylish period home near excellent amenities rather than a larger family house.
For buyers prioritising location, Earls Court Square offers leafy communal gardens and fast transport links (Earls Court tube nearby) plus direct access to Kensington and Westfield. This is a good fit for professionals, downsizers or couples who value central position, period features and long-term ownership security.
