A bright raised-ground one-bedroom apartment in a handsome period conversion, offering 518 sq ft of well-proportioned living space. The bay-fronted sitting room has high ceilings, shuttered windows and a decorative fireplace that retain original character while the separate fitted kitchen and bathroom provide practical everyday living. The property is offered with vacant possession and is chain free.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: a long lease (161 years remaining), double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiator heating, and a reasonable monthly service charge of £260 (c. £3,120 pa). Transport links are strong with Westbourne Park, Queen’s Park and Paddington all within easy reach; local cafés, shops and markets on Golborne and Portobello Roads are a short walk away.
Be aware of material negatives: the building’s solid brick construction likely has no wall insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and scope for energy upgrades. The wider area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers. Service charge and communal maintenance should be checked in full before exchange.
For a first-time buyer seeking a characterful central flat with long leasehold security and good transport connections, this apartment offers a manageable footprint and clear potential to add value through energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
