Summary - FLAT 1, 312 PORTOBELLO ROAD, LONDON W10 5RU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom with period ceilings opposite Portobello’s shops and cafés.
South-facing reception room with 3.17m high ceilings and large sash windows
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment set on the first floor of a period building on Portobello Road. The reception benefits from tall 3.17m ceilings and large south-facing sash windows that give a strong sense of space and character unusual for this size. The open-plan living/kitchen layout and polished wood floors suit contemporary city living for a single buyer or couple.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is 448 sq ft with double glazing, gas central heating and a 102-year lease. RBKC on-street parking permits are available. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working and streaming. Local amenities are exceptional — shops, cafes, markets and transport links are all on the doorstep.
Buyers should note the material considerations: this is a leasehold flat with an average service charge of £2,890pa and ground rent around £300pa, which push running costs up. The building’s solid brick walls were likely built 1900–1929 and are assumed to have no insulation; there may be opportunities or costs to improve thermal efficiency. The local area records higher crime levels and the surrounding ward shows marks of significant deprivation, so viewings should include a local visit at different times of day.
This property suits a first-time buyer or city professional seeking character, proximity to Notting Hill’s amenities and a bright interior with scope to personalise. It offers immediate move-in potential for those prioritising location and light, while buyers wanting low running costs or a quieter neighbourhood may prefer to compare alternatives.
