Bright, characterful one-bedroom flat in the heart of W2, arranged around an open-plan kitchen/living space with tall Victorian sash windows that frame peaceful views over Leinster Square Gardens. The apartment benefits from elegant ceiling heights in the reception, original-style wooden floorboards and a contemporary bedroom with built-in storage — a rare combination of period charm and practical modern living.
This property sits on a long lease (97 years remaining) and comes with an EPC rating of C. It is well placed for Notting Hill and Bayswater amenities, with Westbourne Grove boutiques, cafés and excellent transport links a short walk away. The apartment’s size (approximately 538 sq ft) makes it suitable as a first home or a city pied-à-terre with strong rental potential in a sought-after W2 location.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge of £4,000 and a small ground rent of £100. Council Tax Band E applies. The building’s solid-brick construction (typical of 1900–1929 stock) can mean lower noise but may lack modern cavity insulation, which could affect heating efficiency. The local area records higher crime levels, so buyers should consider security measures.
Overall this apartment offers a light-filled, attractive base in a prestigious central London square, combining period proportions and a convenient, cosmopolitan neighbourhood. It will suit first-time buyers seeking character and location, or investors looking for a desirable one-bedroom in a prime postcode, provided they factor in running costs and minor retrofitting for improved thermal performance.
