Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Askew Village, this raised ground Victorian apartment combines period character with contemporary finish. The bay-fronted open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from high ceilings, wooden floors and generous natural light, creating an airy main living space ideal for daily living and entertaining. Two double bedrooms share a modern bathroom; the rear bedroom opens directly onto a private, sizeable garden — a rare outside space for this location.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a share of freehold, a very long lease (979 years) and a below-average service charge of £750. Good transport connections are nearby with Goldhawk Road, Shepherds Bush Market and Shepherds Bush stations offering multiple Underground lines, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working.
Buyers should note material locality factors. Recorded crime levels in the area are very high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived — important considerations for parking, security and long-term resale. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical for the era), which could mean higher heating demand despite mains gas central heating. The flat is presented in excellent condition internally, but those sensitive to area statistics should visit at different times of day to assess suitability.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking a characterful, well-presented two-bedroom with outdoor space, or professionals wanting a roomy pied-à-terre with strong transport links. With good schools nearby and easy access to Westfield and local amenities, it offers immediate move-in potential together with modest future improvement opportunities (insulation or targeted energy upgrades).
