A modern, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Marlborough House, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking easy access to central London. The open-plan 25ft lounge/kitchen creates a generous living space with a contemporary fitted kitchen, breakfast bar and laminate flooring throughout. EPC rating C and double glazing indicate reasonable energy performance for the build era.
Practical features include lift access, a concierge at the development entrance, a security entry phone system and permit parking that provides a dedicated space. The lease has c.107 years remaining and the apartment is offered in excellent decorative order, ready to move into or rent out immediately.
Considerations: heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas central heating, which can raise running costs compared with gas-fed systems. The location is in a higher-crime and relatively deprived ward, so buyers should factor local safety and insurance implications. There is no private garden; communal landscaped grounds are maintained by the development.
Overall this compact 497 sq ft apartment offers practical, low-maintenance city living with immediate access to West Drayton Elizabeth Line (about 10–15 minute walk), making it a solid choice for commuters or investors seeking a straightforward, modern flat with long lease security.
