Design-led one-bed close to Jubilee, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, 366 sq ft, open-plan living
A compact, design-led one-bedroom flat in NW6 that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking strong location and character. Set on the ground floor of a period conversion, the living room faces west and fills with afternoon light; the open-plan layout keeps the space social and practical for modern city living. The bedroom benefits from full soundproofing, offering a genuinely quiet sleeping or working-from-home retreat despite the urban setting.
The bathroom is architect-designed with bold, creative finishes — a standout feature that gives the apartment personality and reduces the need for immediate cosmetic work. Practical running costs include a community heating scheme and modest ground rent; the current average service charge is £1,428 per year. The flat is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a standard term for purchasers wanting mortgageability without short-lease concerns.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (366 sq ft) and compact room proportions. The building has solid brick walls without assumed insulation, and the area records very high crime statistics with local deprivation indicators — factors that sensible buyers will weigh alongside the location and design strengths. Transport links are a clear plus, with fast Jubilee Line, Overground and Thameslink connections nearby.
This is a pragmatic city purchase: stylish and move-in ready in many regards, with sensible running costs and strong transport links, but limited internal space and neighbourhood challenges that temper long-term living expectations. It will appeal most to those prioritising location, distinctive design and rental or starter-home affordability.
