Sunny two-bedroom flat in a red-brick mansion block, offered chain-free with a share of freehold. At 725 sq ft this raised ground‑floor apartment blends period features — sash windows, decorative fireplace and high kitchen ceilings — with contemporary fittings and light timber flooring. Access to mature communal gardens adds a rare outside amenity for central London living.
The flat is well placed for transport: Goldhawk Road and Shepherds Bush stations are within easy walking distance, and Westfield shopping and local cafés on Askew Road are close by. The layout suits a professional couple or first-time buyers wanting roomy reception space and a separate kitchen/dining area. Offered in generally good decorative order, the property is ready to occupy with only modest updating likely.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property sits in an older solid‑brick building (pre‑1900) and walls are likely uninsulated; the service charge is £2,464.80pa and council tax is moderate. Crime levels in the immediate area are high and the wider neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental returns for some purchasers.
The second bedroom is smaller and may better suit a single occupant or home office. There is no private garden — outdoor space is communal only. Overall this apartment offers period character, light-filled rooms and communal garden access at a competitive price point for W12, making it a sensible choice for first-time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors comfortable with the surrounding area’s challenges.
