Bright lateral home with balcony near Portobello Road and excellent schools.
High ceilings and large triple bay windows
Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, this lateral two-bedroom flat blends original period features with bright, contemporary living. High ceilings and large triple bay windows create an airy living space that opens onto a private balcony, while dark parquet floors add character throughout.
The layout provides two well-proportioned double bedrooms at the rear, a separate bathroom near the entrance, and an open-plan kitchen/living room ideal for family life or comfortable city living. At 749 sq ft the flat offers generous room sizes for the area and benefits from a very long lease (954 years) and share of freehold.
Parents will appreciate several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach, plus the wide variety of shops, cafés and restaurants on Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove. Transport links are excellent and broadband and mobile signals are strong, making the property practical for commuting and remote working.
Notable costs and considerations are the service charge (circa £2,400 pa) and above-average council tax. The building is solid brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future improvement works. The local area records higher crime and relative deprivation levels, which buyers should factor into their decision.
