Summary - 40b Kensington Gardens Square W2 4BQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom period apartment with garden access, 0.3 miles from Bayswater Station.
Popular Kensington garden square with communal garden access
Set on a popular Kensington garden square, this two-bedroom apartment offers a bright open-plan living space and outside access from the rear—an attractive central base for first-time buyers or young professionals. Large front windows fill the reception and kitchen with natural light; the integrated kitchen and breakfast bar suit everyday living and casual entertaining. The principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite and access to an internal courtyard, while a second shower room and built-in wardrobes add practical convenience.
The building is a period mid-terrace constructed before 1900, retaining character alongside contemporary fittings such as double glazing and underfloor heating. The property comes with communal garden access and a share of freehold, which can appeal to buyers seeking longer-term security over the management of the block. An EPC rating of C indicates reasonable energy performance for a period property.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which can affect running costs and may mean future improvement work. The area records very high crime levels—an important local factor to weigh alongside the excellent transport links (Bayswater station 0.3 miles). Service charges average £1,110 and council tax is above average for the borough.
Overall, this apartment is a well-proportioned, centrally located home with period charm and modern comforts. It suits someone wanting immediate move-in with scope to improve thermal efficiency and personalise finishes over time.
