Lower-ground Victorian flat with private garden and extension potential in prime W12.
Private garden with direct kitchen access
A well-proportioned one-bedroom lower-ground conversion in a quiet, desirable stretch of Rylett Crescent, offering private outdoor space and genuine scope to personalise. The flat has its own front door and porch, a west-facing living room with period wooden flooring and a centrally placed double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The kitchen opens directly onto a private rear garden, currently part-paved with artificial turf and mature shrub borders.
Practical details suit buyers seeking a long-term home or buy-to-let: 689 sq ft overall, EPC C, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing already installed, and very low flood risk. The lease has 93 years remaining and a lease extension is underway — buyers should allow for associated costs and timing. There is potential to add space via a side-return or rear extension subject to usual consents.
Location is a standout: quiet end of Rylett Crescent just south of Wendell Park, within walking distance of Askew Road, Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith, Westfield and Stamford Brook tube (District line). Several highly regarded local schools and good transport and amenity provision make this attractive to first-time buyers, professionals and investors. Council tax is moderate and the neighbourhood is very affluent with low crime levels.
Notable drawbacks are the lower-ground position (reduced natural light at the rear), assumed uninsulated solid-brick walls (may need improvement for thermal performance), and the limited lease length compared with new-builds — although an extension is in progress. The flat is sold as a conversion and would suit someone looking to update and add value rather than seeking a completely move-in‑perfect apartment.
