Summary - Flat 1, 51 Barkston Gardens SW5 0ES
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious period flat with private communal gardens, minutes from Earl’s Court station.
Extremely large 1,362 sq ft two-bed, two-bath apartment
An exceptionally large two-bedroom apartment arranged on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian red-brick building on Barkston Gardens. At 1,362 sq ft the flat offers generous volumes, high Georgian-Revival ceilings, bay sash windows and ornate period details including cornicing and a marble fireplace. Residents enjoy access to the private, award-winning communal gardens with mature plane trees, a Victorian gazebo and children’s play area.
The apartment features a large reception room at the front, a well-appointed kitchen with oak worktops and a Bertazzoni range, principal bedroom with skylight and en suite, plus a second double bedroom with fitted desk and concealed walk-in storage. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and a long lease (approx. 980 years) with share of freehold.
Notable costs to be aware of: an above-average annual service charge (approx. £4,695) and a high Council Tax band (Band G). The building’s solid-brick construction dates from the late 19th century and may not include modern wall insulation, which could affect heating costs despite mains gas boiler and radiators. Ground rent is minimal (approx. £12 per year).
Well placed for transport and cultural life, Earl’s Court station is a short walk and the shops, museums and green spaces of South Kensington and Kensington are within easy reach. The apartment will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful home in one of London’s most desirable garden squares; modest updating or energy-efficiency improvements could enhance comfort and long-term running costs.
