Summary - 74 Manchester Drive W10 5BH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious, well-located flat near Portobello Road and transport links.
Top-floor one-bedroom with balcony and bright reception room
Bright top-floor one-bedroom flat arranged across a well-proportioned 633 sq ft. The property benefits from a large kitchen with space to dine, a double bedroom, a light reception room opening onto a balcony and generous built-in storage — practical spaces for everyday living. Situated in a secure residential development with on-site garages, the apartment is a straightforward, low-maintenance home or lettable investment close to Portobello Road and Ladbroke Grove station.
Practical details that matter: the flat is leasehold with about 85 years remaining, low ground rent (£10), double glazing (install date unknown) and a community heating scheme fed by mains gas. Constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s, the building’s fabric is typical of the period and generally functional, though buyers should expect standard-level maintenance rather than high-spec finishes.
Local amenities are a genuine strength — markets, cafes, restaurants, and good primary and secondary schools are all nearby — and the area is well served by fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. However, the neighbourhood records very high crime statistics and is classed as very deprived; buyers should weigh local safety and community factors alongside the flat’s convenience and connectivity.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking a roomy one-bed near central amenities, or an investor wanting a central London let with straightforward management. Arrange a viewing to assess sunlight, finishes and any specific maintenance or upgrade priorities in person.
