Lexham Gardens, London, W8

Owned and cherished since the 1970s, this rare two-bedroom, two-bathroom south-facing garden flat sits quietly in the heart of Kensington, blending character with thoughtful modern touches. Set within an elegant period building at the front, the apartment is well-positioned on its own floor and is ready to move into or offers the opportunity to refurbish and landscape the garden to create a quiet retreat.

Inside, a bright living room opens through floor-to-ceiling doors directly onto the leafy south-facing garden. Natural light pours into the space, enhancing the sense of calm and connection to the outdoors. The wood-panelled kitchen is both practical and inviting, with an integrated hob, oven, and fridge, and a clever half-wall design that looks over the living room to the garden beyond. It is a kitchen designed for modern living, allowing a good flow through to the dining area. The home is finished with enduring quality throughout. Both bedrooms have views across the garden, and the master bedroom is particularly generous in size, paired with a walk-in shower en suite.

The garden is a lovely space and can easily be improved with fencing, further improving the privacy. Certainly, this garden feels like an extension of the home itself, filling the flat with brightness and a sense of openness.

Impeccably maintained with a focus on quality and cleanliness, the property offers flexibility for its next owner: furniture can remain by separate negotiation, or the flat can be delivered as a blank canvas. The tenure of the home is leasehold with a share of freehold and 950 years remaining on a 999-year lease (extended in 2009).

The location balances tranquillity with convenience. Earl’s Court Underground is just 0.3 miles away, with Gloucester Road and High Street Kensington stations within half a mile.

Holland Park and Kensington Gardens lie within easy reach, and Hyde Park is only slightly further, placing London’s finest green spaces at your doorstep.

The wide range of cafés, restaurants, and shops of Kensington High Street can be reached within 0.2 miles, providing everyday convenience and choice.

“For decades, this has been my own green, peaceful retreat in the heart of Kensington.” – Owner
