This bright two-bedroom first-floor flat on Colville Road sits within a handsome Victorian terrace in the heart of Notting Hill. At about 736 sq ft the apartment benefits from high ceilings, a bay-windowed reception and an open-plan kitchen, creating an airy living space that opens onto a small balcony. The property has gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and retains period character such as cornicing and tall windows.
The location is a major selling point: tree-lined Colville Road is minutes from Portobello Road with plentiful shops, cafes and transport links, including Ladbroke Grove Underground. Families will note several well-regarded schools nearby, including an Outstanding-rated primary within walking distance. The flat is sold as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease remaining (953 years).
Buyers should be aware of important practical considerations. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and is assumed to have no cavity insulation; upgrading thermal performance may be desirable. Service charges run at about £2,400 per year and council tax is above average for the borough. The wider area records higher crime and local deprivation metrics, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking a characterful Notting Hill home with generous ceiling heights and excellent local amenities, who are prepared to factor in running costs and potential insulation or refurbishment work to personalise the space.
