Set within an elegant Ladbroke Square period conversion, this naturally bright one-bedroom flat combines classic proportions with a contemporary finish. The open-plan kitchen and reception benefit from high ceilings and period character, while a contemporary shower room and a handy study on the half landing add useful flexibility for home working.
At roughly 503 sq ft on the first floor, the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking a central Notting Hill base with direct access to the square’s well-kept communal gardens. The property is sold as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (965 years), giving long-term security rare for central London flats.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by room heaters fed from oil (not a communal system), which can be more expensive and requires fuel deliveries and maintenance. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. The area records above-average crime statistics and there is an ongoing service charge (c. £1,300), both factual points to factor into running costs and local suitability.
Overall, this apartment offers period charm, outdoor square access and strong lifestyle appeal close to Notting Hill Gate, Holland Park and local amenities. It will particularly suit someone prioritising location, natural light and character, while accepting some maintenance and running-cost trade-offs.
