Set within the historic Grade II* listed Goldsmiths Buildings, this one-bedroom terraced maisonette combines period character with a private outdoor space opposite Acton Park. The reception retains an original fireplace and high ceilings while a modern kitchen opens onto a private patio. Communal landscaped gardens of approximately 1.4 acres provide rare, private green space in central Acton.
The property is offered as a share of freehold with a very long lease (985 years), making ownership straightforward for owner-occupiers or buy-to-let investors. Its compact 538 sq ft layout is well suited to a first-time buyer, pied-à-terre or rental unit, and benefits from good transport links nearby (Acton Central and East Acton stations).
Buyers should note the listed status: repairs, alterations and external changes will be subject to listed-building restrictions and may add cost or delay to works. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited original insulation; secondary works such as upgrading thermal performance and some modernisation may be required. The local area is mixed in socio-economic profile and described as deprived, though nearby schools and local amenities are strong.
Overall this property offers authentic Georgian character, substantial communal gardens and practical ownership terms, balanced by the responsibilities and constraints of a Grade II* listed home. It will suit buyers who value heritage, outdoor space and proximity to Acton Park, and who are prepared for listed-building management and potential retrofit works.
