Summary - 40b Kensington Gardens Square W2 4BQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Characterful two-bedroom flat near Bayswater station ideal for central-city living.
Access to communal gardens and private rear courtyard
Set on a sought-after Kensington garden square, this two-bedroom apartment blends period character with contemporary fittings. The open-plan kitchen and reception enjoys large front windows and a fireplace focal point, creating a bright, sociable home for everyday living and entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite and direct access to a small private courtyard at the rear.
Practical features include integrated kitchen appliances, double glazing (install date unknown), gas-fired boiler with underfloor heating, and an EPC rating of C. The property extends to about 836 sq ft and is offered as a share of freehold, giving long-term security for owner-occupiers. Bayswater Station is approximately 0.3 miles away, with Notting Hill Gate also within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the building is a pre-1900 solid-brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, which can affect thermal performance and running costs. The service charge averages £1,110 and council tax is above average. The local area records very high crime levels, which may influence suitability depending on personal priorities and security arrangements.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-located, characterful home with outside space and commute convenience. It also offers refurbishment potential for buyers who want to improve thermal efficiency or personalise the contemporary interior.
