1 bed 1 bath Flat
Auction opportunity: one-bedroom needing modernisation near Westfield and major transport links.
Compact 384 sq ft one-bedroom with high Victorian ceilings and sash windows
Requires full modernisation; currently in need of refurbishment
New 125-year lease to be granted; peppercorn ground rent
Sold by online auction; buyer’s fee and possible completion charges apply

EPC rating D; heating via mains gas boiler and radiators
Solid brick construction with no assumed wall insulation
Area records high crime levels — factor into rental/insurance costs
This raised-ground one-bedroom offering occupies a Victorian mid-terrace in Shepherd's Bush, a short walk from Westfield and multiple tube stations. At 384 sq ft the flat is compact but benefits from high ceilings and original sash windows that give good natural light and period character.
The property is sold at online auction with vacant possession and a new 125-year lease to be granted at a peppercorn ground rent. It requires comprehensive modernisation — the accommodation is functional but dated, EPC rated D, and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
Location is the principal value driver: excellent transport links (Central, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines), fast broadband and close proximity to schools rated Outstanding and major retail at Westfield. The flat’s size and condition suit a buyer targeting a short refurbishment for rental or resale rather than immediate move-in.
Material drawbacks are straightforward: renovation costs will be needed to reach modern standards, the area records high crime levels, and there are auction-related costs (buyer’s fee and possible additional completion fees) and the usual legal risks that accompany auction purchases. Council tax band C and vacant possession simplify immediate letting or works planning.
