This compact second-floor apartment offers a modern, low-maintenance home just off Hounslow High Street. The open-plan living/kitchen and double bedroom make efficient use of 383 sq ft, with a lift-served block and gated allocated parking providing practical everyday convenience. The long lease (around 990 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase and future resale.
Practical running costs include an average service charge of £2,000pa and a ground rent of £235pa. Heating is electric (room heaters and radiators), so buyers should expect higher energy bills than gas-heated homes. The property is small and best suited to a single professional, first-time buyer, or buy-to-let investor seeking a central location.
Location is the apartment’s strongest selling point: immediate access to Hounslow High Street amenities and multiple transport links on foot. The block sits within an inner-city, multicultural area popular with students and commuters. Note the local crime rate is recorded as very high; evaluate personal security needs despite the gated parking and secure block access.
Overall this is a straightforward, modern flat for someone prioritising location and convenience over generous living space. It presents an entry-level ownership opportunity with clear running costs and realistic expectations about size and heating.
