Chain free, ideal for first-time buyers
This bright, open-plan one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of the modern Upton Gardens development. The living space flows to a full-length balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens, creating an easy indoor–outdoor spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the bedroom has a built-in wardrobe.
Residents benefit from a 24-hour gym, 12-hour concierge, bike store and landscaped communal gardens — conveniences that suit a busy first-time buyer or a young professional seeking low-fuss living. Transport links are strong: Upton Park station (Hammersmith & City and District lines) is within walking distance for straightforward city access.
Practical positives include a long lease (991 years), an EPC rating of B, and a generous overall size of 628 sq ft. Ongoing costs to note: an average annual service charge of £2,600 and ground rent around £350 per year. Heating is provided via a community scheme.
The wider area shows relative deprivation but records very low crime and excellent mobile and fast broadband — useful for commuters and remote workers. This chain-free flat offers an easy-to-manage first home with contemporary finishes and clear potential for comfortable day-to-day living.
