Set on the first floor of Acton House, this compact studio presents an affordable entry into W3, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a simple, low-maintenance purchase with no onward chain. The flat benefits from double glazing, a mains gas boiler with radiators, and direct access to Acton’s shops and transport — including the Elizabeth Line and Acton Main Line station — making commutes brief and practical.
The accommodation is a single open-plan room with a small fitted kitchen and bathroom, finished in a contemporary style. Its size and layout suit a single resident, a professional sharer, or a rental let; the property’s location in the heart of Acton and strong transport links support lettability and a steady demand from local commuters and tech workers.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a share of freehold, an average service charge of £1,490 pa and a small ground rent of £25. The building dates from the 1950s–60s; walls are cavity construction with no known insulation, so purchasers wanting improved energy efficiency should budget for upgrades. The wider area is marked as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth for some buyers.
Overall this is a pragmatic, cost-conscious purchase: low upfront price, immediate availability with no chain, and excellent transport links. It suits someone prioritising location and affordability over space, or an investor seeking a straightforward, easy-to-manage rental unit.
