This exceptionally well balanced three-bedroom apartment is positioned on the ground floor of this popular portered block, set in a quiet enclave between Kensington High Street and Nottinghill.

Arranged over a single level, the well-proportioned rooms pivot around a central entrance hall. The West facing Drawing-Room benefits from ceiling heights in excess of three meters, this coupled with the three large windows gives a wonderful sense of space and volume.

There are three bedrooms, one currently set up as a study, two bathrooms and a separate eat in kitchen. The back door, off the kitchen is conveniently located next to the private car parking space, coupled with this the apartment has further storage in the basement (both of which are held on separate leases, with approx 44 years remaining).

Duchess of Bedford House is quietly located on a residential street within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and transport links. The notorious green spaces of Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are only a short walk, offering a relief from busy city life.

In accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019, the rules for how fees will be charged for Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST’s) are different to how fees will be charged for Non-Housing Act (NHA) tenancies.

Housing Act Tenancies: Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST)	Non-Housing Act Tenancies (NHA): Also known as 'Common Law Tenancies'
An AST is the most common type of type of tenancy if you rent from a private landlord or letting agent.	An NHA tenancy is typically created if the rent is over £100,000 per year, or if it is a company tenancy.
You usually have an AST if: The rent is less than £100,000 per year You (the tenant) are an individual and are using the property as your main home Your landlord doesn’t live in the property The property is privately owned	A company tenancy is when a company takes on a residential tenancy agreement as the tenant. The company employee will live in the property as a ‘permitted occupant’.
An NHA tenancy would also be created if the property isn’t the tenant’s main home.
