Compact garden flat near Westfield and strong transport links.
Private entrance to the flat, not communal access
This well-presented one-bedroom lower-ground flat offers 538 sq ft of comfortable living with its own private entrance and a patio garden — a rare find for first-time buyers in Shepherd’s Bush. The reception room benefits from French doors that bring natural light into the main living space, and the layout is straightforward and practical for single occupants or couples.
The property is sold with the freehold to the building, giving long-term control and no ground rent. Heating is by mains gas with a boiler and radiators; the EPC and council tax are both Band C, which helps keep running costs reasonable. The flat is double glazed and sits within a mid-terrace Victorian building that retains period character alongside contemporary interior presentation.
Location is a key strength: Shepherd’s Bush offers fast public transport links (Central Line, Overground, Hammersmith & City and Circle nearby) plus Westfield and a wide variety of shops, restaurants, bars and leisure venues within walking distance. Local schools include several rated Outstanding and Good, which will appeal to buyers thinking about future resale or rental demand.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat is on the lower-ground floor so light levels are reduced compared with upper units. The building dates from the 1930s and external walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, so further insulation or improvement works may be desirable. The surrounding area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation, which could affect some buyers’ preferences and long-term value perceptions. Service charge details are still to be confirmed.
