Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace in central Notting Hill, this two-bedroom apartment blends period detail with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from impressive ceiling heights, ornate cornicing and large bay windows that flood the 742 sq ft space with natural light. A private balcony provides outdoor space facing the street.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (953 years) and share of freehold, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the flat well-suited to professionals or a small family seeking a central location. Notting Hill Gate station is about 0.4 miles away and amenities on Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove are within easy walking distance.
Be candid about running costs and energy: the property has an EPC rating of D, mains gas boiler and radiators, and solid brick walls that are assumed to lack insulation—improvements may be needed to reduce heating bills. Service charge and ongoing costs are material: the service charge is approximately £2,400 per year and council tax is above average.
The area is lively and convenient but comes with trade-offs: local crime levels are reported as high and the wider neighbourhood shows indicators of deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the central location and excellent local schools. Overall this is a characterful, well-situated apartment with clear potential for comfort and energy upgrades.
