Sunny one-bedroom flat with period charm and garden-square views in central Notting Hill.
Victorian sash windows with garden square views
Bright, characterful one-bedroom flat set on Hereford Road with expansive Victorian sash windows that frame peaceful views over Leinster Square Gardens. The apartment combines period proportions — high ceilings and original sash windows — with a modern fitted bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/living area, creating an immediate sense of space and light. Built-in storage and contemporary bedroom finishes make the layout practical for everyday living.
Located between Notting Hill and Bayswater, this flat is ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central London lifestyle and strong local amenities. Westbourne Grove’s shops, cafés and transport links (Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate nearby) are within easy walking distance, and access to the garden square is available by application — a notable local perk.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold with 97 years remaining, an average-sized 538 sq ft, and an EPC rating of C. Service charges are around £4,000 per year and council tax is above average; factor these ongoing costs into affordability. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls, which may mean insulation or retrofit work if you plan energy improvements.
This flat suits a buyer who values location, natural light and period character but wants a manageable central-London home rather than a project. Check lease terms and service charge breakdown, and allow budget for any energy upgrades or personalised updating you might prefer.
