Set on the sixth floor of a modern W10 development, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment delivers more than 1,000 sq ft of open-plan living and two private terraces. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking generous proportions, contemporary finishes and outdoor space in a central North Kensington location. Large windows and efficient glazing bring light and lower energy costs; underfloor heating and an efficient electric boiler add comfort.
The kitchen is sleek and modern with integrated appliances and an island counter, while built-in shelving and light wood floors create a calm living environment. A 24-hour porter provides extra security and convenience, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home. The long lease (981 years) is a clear ownership advantage.
Buyers should weigh the ownership costs carefully: the service charge is high (£9,680 pa) and the annual ground rent (£1,000) is significant. Council Tax is above average (Band E). The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan but records high crime statistics and pockets of deprivation, so buyers prioritising quiet or low-crime neighbourhoods should investigate further.
Transport and local amenities are strong selling points: about 0.4 miles from Ladbroke Grove station with quick access to Portobello Road, Notting Hill and Westfield, plus nearby parks and a mix of state and independent schools. For buyers wanting a roomy, low-maintenance base in prime W10 with outdoor terraces and modern systems, this apartment is a compelling option—provided running costs and local safety concerns fit your priorities.
