Set on the top floor of a white stucco Victorian conversion on Westbourne Grove, this compact two-bedroom flat brings city convenience and a sunny, south-facing balcony. The open-plan reception and kitchen make the most of the 517 sq ft footprint, offering bright, contemporary living space ideal for a first home or pied-à-terre in Notting Hill.
Practical details are straightforward: share of freehold with 86 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of £2,921 and council tax in Band D. The building was constructed between 1930–1949, has double glazing installed before 2002, and uses mains gas boiler central heating.
The flat suits buyers looking for location and lifestyle over expansive rooms — Hyde Park, Notting Hill Gate transport links and Westbourne Grove’s shops and restaurants are all a short walk away. There is clear scope to add value through internal updating and insulation improvements, but this does require time and investment.
Be aware of a few material points: the property is small at about 517 sq ft with one bathroom, the building shows signs of older system-built walls with assumed no insulation, and local recorded crime levels are above average. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the home ready for modern working patterns.
