A spacious two-bedroom apartment of just over 1,000 sq ft in a sought-after Notting Hill mansion block, recently and comprehensively refurbished to a high standard. The refurbishment includes solid oak parquet floors, bespoke joinery, Carrara marble bathrooms, and new sash windows (fitted 2018), creating a bright, modern interior while retaining period character. Residents benefit from a 24-hour porter and the right to apply for access to Ladbroke Square communal gardens. The property is offered as a share of freehold with a very long lease (c.960 years) and a low ground rent (£95).
The apartment sits within an Edwardian mid-terrace block and enjoys large sash windows and high ceilings on the top floor, accentuating the lateral, airy layout. The property is served by a community heating scheme (mains gas) and excellent broadband and mobile signal — useful for working from home. Local amenities are exceptional: Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill Gate (Central, District, Circle lines) and a wide range of shops, cafes and cultural facilities are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. Crime in the immediate area is above average and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building’s solid brick walls were built without insulation (assumed), so although the flat has new windows and a community heating system, buyers may wish to check thermal performance and running costs. A small ground rent and share of freehold structure reduce typical leasehold pressures, but purchasers should confirm all service charges and management arrangements.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a comfortable, turn-key home or a central London pied-à-terre in a fashionable address. It offers strong lifestyle appeal and long-lease security, but prospective purchasers should carry out their own enquiries on running costs, building management and local safety data.
