This well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in Point West offers generous living space (approx. 619 sq ft) in a central South Kensington location. The separate fitted kitchen and large reception room suit a couple or single buyer wanting clear living and dining zones; the large double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes for storage. The building benefits from a 24‑hour concierge and immediate proximity to Gloucester Road and Earls Court tube stations, plus leisure facilities nearby.
Practical points are upfront: the flat is offered chain‑free on a long lease (102 years) and ready for immediate occupation with only minor cosmetic updating recommended. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the block was originally built in the 1950s–60s with cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated—both factors to consider for running costs and any improvement plans.
Service charges and ground rent are material: the service charge is £7,644 pa and ground rent £800 pa, which are higher than average and should be accounted for in ongoing costs or rental yield calculations. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there's no flood risk—advantages for both owner-occupiers and buy‑to‑let investors.
Overall, this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a spacious, centrally located flat with good transport links and concierge security. It offers scope to add value through modest internal improvements and potential energy-efficiency upgrades, balanced against above-average communal charges and electric heating.
