Buyers should note material local factors: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and ranks as very deprived, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks insulation. The flat is compact at 579 sq ft and has typical Victorian-era fabric and heating (mains gas boiler and radiators). These points are important for anyone sensitive to area safety, energy efficiency, or seeking a larger home.
Overall this apartment offers a sensible, low-running-cost London base with decent transport links (Hanwell/West Ealing, Northfields) and local amenities on Uxbridge Road. It will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for a central one-bedroom with straightforward refurbishment or modest improvement potential.
