A bright, contemporary one-bedroom ground-floor flat with its own private entrance and terrace, offered chain free. The open-plan kitchen/reception makes efficient use of the 546 sq ft footprint and the generous bedroom feels larger than many one-bed city apartments. The long lease (991 years) removes a common leasehold worry and the building is a modern block with low-maintenance finishes.
Practical running costs to note: an annual service charge of about £1,600 and ground rent of £300. Council Tax sits at Band E, higher than average for the area. Heating is via a community scheme and the building shows energy-efficient, modern construction details.
Location works well for first-time buyers who need fast transport links and local amenities: Westbourne Park tube (Circle/Hammersmith & City) and Little Venice canal are within walking distance. The neighbourhood is inner-city and cosmopolitan, with plentiful shops, cafés and schools nearby.
Be candid about local issues: crime statistics are high and the wider area has pockets of deprivation. For buyers seeking a low-maintenance city home with outdoor space and secure long-lease tenure, this is a practical, well-sized one-bedroom in a modern block; buyers seeking a quieter, low-crime suburb may prefer to look elsewhere.
