Set within an imposing Victorian mansion block on Kensington Court, this first-floor lateral apartment offers a classic central‑London lifestyle. The reception room, separate kitchen and two double bedrooms sit within approximately 638 sq ft, arranged for easy, single‑level living. High ceilings and period detailing lend character and light throughout the accommodation.
The location is a principal selling point: tucked off Kensington High Street and moments from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, with excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong local amenities including shops, restaurants and cultural venues. Several highly regarded independent and state schools are within easy reach, making the flat convenient for school runs or local professionals.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 99 years remaining and carries a high annual service charge of £9,818; council tax is also noted as expensive. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which may concern some buyers. There is no flooding risk; mobile signal and internet speeds are excellent.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a characterful Kensington address with a lateral, easily managed layout — whether as a city base, pied‑à‑terre or central London investment — provided they budget for the ongoing service charges and be mindful of local safety statistics.
