This two-bedroom lower ground apartment occupies the south‑east corner of Kensington Court, a prestigious Victorian terrace just off Kensington High Street. The flat offers high ceilings, period features, neutral decor and wooden flooring throughout, with a private patio garden and a share of the freehold — strong locational advantages for owner-occupiers or investors.
Layout comprises a generously proportioned reception, two bedrooms, separate compact kitchen and a family bathroom within 646 sq ft. The building’s solid brick construction and double glazing are positives for longevity, while the compact kitchen and overall lower ground position mean internal light and layout could be improved with a modest refurbishment.
Buyers should note material practicalities plainly: the property is lower ground so natural light is more limited than upper floors; walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation (potential for heat loss and retrofit costs); and local council tax is expensive. The wider area records very high crime levels, which may affect some purchasers’ choices despite the square being surrounded by embassies and consulates with attendant security.
Transport, amenities and schooling are exceptional — High Street Kensington tube, buses, Hyde Park and a wide range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets are within minutes. This flat suits a buyer seeking a central Kensington base with period character and garden outdoor space, or an investor targeting high-demand Zone 1 rental stock who is willing to factor in refurbishment and running costs.
