Summary - Flat 3, 26 Hereford Road W2 4AA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor one-bed near Westbourne Grove — bright, characterful and well connected.
Top-floor one-bedroom with open-plan kitchen/reception
A bright top-floor one-bedroom apartment just off Westbourne Grove, offering a compact open-plan living space and period charm within easy reach of Bayswater and Queensway stations. The apartment's large windows and wood floors give a contemporary, airy feel while retaining a fireplace and character details from its 1930s build. The long lease (approx. 171 years) and small ground rent make ownership straightforward for a buyer looking for a central London base or starter home.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. The flat also has sole access to a roof terrace, providing rare outside space for this location — though the terrace is non-demised, so access and use may be limited by the freeholder. Service charge is stated at around £1,000 (details unconfirmed), and council tax is described as affordable.
Be upfront about the material negatives: the property has an EPC rating of E and the building’s solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs and an upgrade need. The local area records higher crime levels, important for buyers to consider alongside the excellent central location and amenities.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or city professional seeking a well-located pied-à-terre with immediate access to cafés, boutiques and transport. It offers a balance of period character and modern convenience, but expect some running costs and possible improvement works to boost energy efficiency and comfort.
