Summary - 5 FLAT 2 LADBROKE CRESCENT LONDON W11 1PS
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, stylish pied-à-terre close to Portobello Road and transport links.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat in period conversion
A compact top-floor one-bedroom flat in a coloured period conversion on a quiet no-through road near Portobello Road. The open-plan living area with a modern kitchen and a well-proportioned double bedroom with fitted wardrobes makes efficient use of 355 sq ft. Presented in excellent condition throughout, it suits a buyer wanting a low-maintenance central London pied-à-terre or a lettable investment.
Practical positives include a very long lease (994 years) and share of freehold, double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The bathroom is described as lovely and the interior feels modern with wood flooring and ceiling spotlights.
Notable considerations: the overall size is small at 355 sq ft, and the building’s timber-frame construction is recorded as having no insulation (assumed), which may affect energy efficiency and heating costs. Double glazing predates 2002 and might not match current standards. The immediate area scores as very deprived in small-area indices despite being inner-city cosmopolitan; crime is average. Service charge is £800 (below average) — factor this into running costs.
Location is a key draw: close to Ladbroke Grove Underground, Portobello’s shops and cafés, and a wide range of local amenities and transport links. For first-time buyers and buy-to-let purchasers seeking a central, well-presented property with long lease security, this offers straightforward, low-upkeep living in Notting Hill.
