Summary - Top Floor Flat, 23 Chepstow Road W2 5BP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright, characterful central flat ideal for first buyers or city pied-à-terre.
Top-floor one-bedroom with far-reaching rooftop views
A bright one-bedroom top-floor apartment in a handsome late-Georgian terrace, positioned a short walk from Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road. The living space is well presented and arranged to make the most of far-reaching rooftop views and natural light, with a compact dining area adjacent to a fitted kitchen.
The property is offered with a long lease (c.950 years) and a share of freehold, making it straightforward for owner-occupiers or investors. Practical details include double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators. A neat mezzanine provides occasional guest space or extra storage, and the bedroom has fitted wardrobes with room for a study or dressing area.
Buyers should note the apartment is an average-sized 459 sq ft top-floor flat, which suits single buyers, couples or a pied-à-terre but limits larger living layouts. The building’s timber frame is recorded as originally uninsulated (assumed), which may affect thermal performance despite double glazing. Service charges are around £1,300 per year; council tax is described as affordable.
The local area is affluent and cosmopolitan with excellent transport links (Notting Hill Gate, Queensway, Bayswater) and a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Crime statistics are above average for the area; purchasers should consider security and insurance implications. Overall this is a convenient, characterful central London flat with clear rental and first-time-buyer appeal, balanced by modest size and some maintenance/insulation considerations.
