A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in the popular Dickens Yard development, offered chain free and with a 25% shared ownership option. The open-plan living room and kitchen (approx. 516 sq ft) makes efficient use of space, with large windows delivering good natural light and views over landscaped communal areas. The fully fitted kitchen, generous tiled bathroom and built-in wardrobe in the double bedroom provide ready-to-live-in convenience for a first-time buyer.
Practical considerations are clear: the flat is leasehold with about 116 years remaining (125-year lease from 2017) and an annual service charge of £3,769.92. Heating is provided via a community scheme and the council tax band is D; there is no separate ground rent. EPC B indicates reasonable energy performance, but communal-managed blocks can attract higher running costs than a private house.
Location is a major selling point — central Ealing convenience, Dickens Yard shops, cafes and eateries on your doorstep and excellent transport links at Ealing Broadway (Crossrail, District, Central and National Rail). The area suits buyers prioritising urban lifestyle and connectivity, though the neighbourhood has higher crime and relative deprivation statistics to note.
This apartment will appeal most to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into west London with manageable size and contemporary finishes. Investors may also find rental potential given the proximity to transport and local amenities, but should budget for service charges and factor in the lease length when assessing long-term yield.
