Set on the lower-ground of a Victorian conversion at the top end of Portobello Road, this one-bedroom flat offers an unusually generous 645 sq ft for a central London home. The open-plan living room and contemporary kitchen flow directly to a private rear garden, creating an attractive indoor-outdoor layout rare for basement flats. High ceilings and large windows maximise natural light despite the lower-ground position.
The property is sold as a share of freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical advantages for city living or renting to professionals. Local amenities are superb: shops, cafes, markets and public transport are all within easy reach, giving quick access across London.
There are some material issues to note. The building dates from 1900–1929 and the walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation, so thermal and acoustic performance may be below modern standards. The area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, factors buyers should weigh alongside the flat’s central location and rental appeal.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful central flat with garden access and clear scope to improve thermal efficiency and finishes. For buyers prioritising light, insulation and absolute quiet, a viewing will confirm whether the lower-ground position and local context meet expectations.
