Set on a colourful Notting Hill terrace, this raised ground-floor one-bedroom apartment blends striking Victorian proportions with a contemporary finish. High 3.2m ceilings, a bay window and original fireplace give the living room period character; recent refurbishment includes herringbone oak floors, bespoke joinery and under-floor heating throughout.
The flat extends to about 550 sq ft and benefits from an exceptionally long 999-year lease (998 years remaining). It is ready to move into with new fixtures and fittings throughout, making it appealing for buyers seeking a turn-key home close to Westbourne Grove, Portobello Road and excellent local dining and shopping.
Practical points are straightforward: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, average service charge (£1,250) and moderate council tax. The building predates 1900 and external walls are likely solid brick with assumed limited insulation, which may affect long-term energy performance unless upgraded.
Location pros include proximity to Notting Hill Gate station (about 0.6 miles) and several highly rated schools nearby. Buyers should note the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation indices, which is an important consideration for some purchasers despite the street’s attractive streetscape and strong rental demand.
