Summary - DUCHESS OF BEDFORD HOUSE FLAT 21 DUCHESS OF BEDFORDS WALK LONDON W8 7QN
3 bed 2 bath Apartment
Large portered mansion block apartment near Holland Park and Kensington High Street.
1,444 sq ft lateral apartment with high ceilings and large windows
Set within a portered 1930s mansion block, this lateral first-floor apartment offers generous entertaining space and comfortable family accommodation across 1,444 sq ft. The principal reception benefits from high ceilings and large windows; the flat also enjoys a dual east–west aspect and plentiful built-in storage. With Holland Park and Kensington High Street both a short walk away, the location is exceptionally convenient for green space, shops and transport.
The layout provides a principal bedroom suite plus two further double bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged for family use or flexible living. The building includes a lift and porter service, and the apartment has a mains gas boiler with radiator heating. EPC C reflects reasonable energy performance for the age and construction.
Buyers must be aware of material lease and cost issues. The lease has approximately 38 years remaining — well below typical mortgage lenders’ thresholds — and this will likely prevent most buyers from obtaining standard mortgage finance. Service charge (£14,374pa) and ground rent (£9,952pa) are high and will significantly increase ongoing costs. Council tax is also described as very expensive.
This property will suit a cash buyer, a specialist investor able to carry enfranchisement or lease-extension costs, or someone who values the location and scale and is prepared for refurbishment and legal work. The apartment’s period character and large lateral plan offer clear potential, but the short lease and high running costs are decisive practical factors for most buyers.
