Bright, compact and contemporary, this top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Portobello Square offers a straightforward entry into Notting Hill living. The open-plan kitchen/reception leads to a large balcony, while the bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a second private balcony — useful for morning coffee or evening air. Modern finishes include hardwood flooring, integrated Siemens appliances and a fully tiled bathroom with heated towel rail. The long lease (984 years) and fast broadband make this well-suited to a first-time buyer or city professional.
Practical advantages include excellent Zone 2 transport links (Ladbroke Grove nearby), community heating on mains gas, and an affordable council tax band. The development’s recent construction (post-2012) and double glazing suggest low immediate maintenance; internal space is comfortable at about 566 sq ft. There is no flood risk recorded and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations are a materially deprived local area classification and average local crime rates, which may affect resale appeal for some buyers. The property is leasehold — service charges and ground rent are not specified here, so budget for ongoing costs. The apartment sits on the 4th/top floor; prospective buyers should confirm lift access and any communal maintenance arrangements prior to offer.
Overall this is a modern, low-maintenance apartment offering strong transport convenience and contemporary living spaces. It suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, ready-to-live-in home, provided you check service charges, lift access and neighbourhood suitability in person.
