This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in Acton Gardens offers a straightforward, modern London start. The open-plan kitchen/living room and private terrace bring natural light and outdoor space to a compact 554 sq ft layout, suited to someone seeking an efficient city home.
Practical ownership is eased by a long 117-year lease and modest ground rent of £100. Transport links are strong — Acton Town (District and Piccadilly lines) and South Acton Overground are within walking distance, making commutes and airport journeys straightforward.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are high. The property uses a community heating scheme and sits in an urban cultural mix; these factors can affect running costs and day-to-day living. The apartment’s size and typical city-flat footprint limit storage and entertaining space.
Overall, this is a pragmatic choice for a first-time buyer or investor looking for a modern, well-located one-bed with a long lease and outdoor access. Expect some trade-offs on space and neighbourhood character, but clear transport advantages and low immediate holding costs.
