This split-level apartment on Askew Road offers unusually generous living space for a two-bedroom flat, arranged across 959 sq ft with a private street-level entrance. The layout places a bright reception and modern eat-in kitchen on the first floor and two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite, on the top floor — a useful arrangement for privacy and entertaining.
Constructed before 1900, the building has period character such as high ceilings, large windows and a fireplace, combined with contemporary finishes inside. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It sits close to Ravenscourt Park and Stamford Brook stations (District Line) and near several highly regarded schools, making it practical for families.
Known drawbacks are factual: the area records higher crime levels and scores as deprived in local indices, which may affect buyer confidence and insurance costs. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy bills and refurbishment to add insulation could be considerations. The flat is leasehold with 100 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,000 and a ground rent of £100.
Overall this is a large, well-located period apartment with modern interior features and scope for energy-improvement works. It will suit buyers who prioritise space, convenient transport links and proximity to parks and schools, and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership in a busier inner-city neighbourhood.
