This well-presented top-floor flat offers two spacious double bedrooms and generous living space with balcony access, arranged across approximately 773 sq ft. The apartment is bright and modern, with a contemporary kitchen, a main bathroom plus an en-suite WC, and useful underfloor heating to the kitchen, bathroom and WC. It will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers and buy-to-let investors seeking a move-in-ready home near Shepherds Bush and Westfield.
Practical information is clear: the property is leasehold (125 years from 31 March 1984), with an annual service charge around £1,340 and a token ground rent of £10. Council Tax band D applies. The building dates from the 1950s–60s, has double glazing (fitted since 2002 or later) and solid brick walls that are likely uninsulated, which may affect long-term running costs and future retrofit plans.
Location is a major advantage — a short walk to Shepherds Bush Underground and Overground stations, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus immediate access to shops, restaurants and leisure at Westfield and Brook Green. Buyers should note the local context: the area has very high recorded crime and high deprivation levels, which may be relevant for families and some investors.
Overall this is a comfortable, ready-to-live-in flat with clear rental and resale appeal because of size, location and modern fixtures. However, purchasers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements (solid walls) and factor in the ongoing service charge, lease position and local area considerations when deciding to view.
