This top-floor one-bedroom flat sits within a Victorian mid-terrace on Shorrolds Road, a short walk from Fulham Broadway and local shops. The apartment offers a bright reception room, a double bedroom, a modern fitted kitchen and a full bathroom — all arranged efficiently across approximately 448 sq ft. The 103-year lease, low service charge and mains gas heating make it practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property is presented in tidy but dated condition and needs renovation to reach its full potential. The EPC currently rates energy performance at around E with room for improvement; upgrading insulation and heating efficiency would both improve comfort and running costs. There is an indicated opportunity to extend by converting the loft, subject to planning consent and associated costs.
Practical drawbacks to note: this is a top-floor flat with no private outdoor space, and the surrounding area records high crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and double glazing of unknown age — further thermal improvements are advisable. Service charge and ground rent are low, and there are excellent transport and local amenity links nearby, including Fulham Broadway station and multiple schools.
Overall this is a compact, characterful central Fulham flat offering clear scope for cosmetic and energy upgrades. It suits a buyer looking to personalise a city home or an investor targeting a lettable central location, provided they factor renovation and local safety considerations into their plans.
