Set within an early Victorian white stucco building, this two-bedroom flat offers a rare private garden and high ceilings in central W2. The reception room flows into an open-plan kitchen and French doors leading to a landscaped rear garden with raised beds—unusual outdoor space for a central London flat. Two bedrooms both have built-in storage, and the accommodation is compact but well-proportioned across 499 sq ft.
The location is a major selling point: Porchester Square sits moments from Westbourne Grove, Waitrose and the soon-to-reopen Whiteley development, with excellent links at Paddington, Bayswater and Royal Oak. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs, while nearby schools receive Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note material lease and cost details: the property is leasehold with 82 years remaining, a ground rent of approximately £10 and an average service charge around £2,400 per year. The building is solid brick and likely has no wall insulation; heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Crime levels in the immediate area are higher than average for central London.
This flat suits a buyer seeking central location and garden access—ideal for a first-time buyer wanting character and outdoor space, or an investor targeting strong rental demand near transport links. The apartment will suit buyers prepared to accept a relatively short lease and ongoing service charges, and who may wish to consider insulation or other longer-term maintenance works.
