Spacious one-bedroom in a 1930s mansion block with private gardens and porter..
Second-floor one-bedroom with lift access and small balcony
A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in a 1930s Art Deco mansion block on Norland Square, moments from Holland Park Avenue. Set on the second floor (lift access), the flat has a small balcony, secure basement storage and use of the beautifully kept private communal gardens with a tennis court — rare for central London flats. The layout and generous room sizes make this a comfortable home or a convenient central pied-à-terre.
Practical details are strong: 526 sq ft, 131 years remaining on the lease and excellent local transport links with Notting Hill and Westfield a short walk away. The building benefits from a porter and a community heating scheme. The flat’s neutral, mid-century style interior and secondary glazing mean it is ready to occupy with little immediate cosmetic work.
Buyers should note the material considerations: an above-average annual service charge of £5,220 and Council Tax in Band E increase running costs. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation, which could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The wider area records a higher crime level, so security and personal safety are factors to weigh.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a centrally located, characterful one-bedroom with communal garden rights and storage. It offers immediate comfort with scope for energy improvements and longer-term capital growth given the Holland Park address, but budget for service charges and potential retrofit works before committing.
