The flat is light and airy throughout with generous room sizes (589 sq ft) and practical features such as built-in wardrobes. Acton Main Line station (Crossrail) is around 0.2 miles away, cutting central-London commute times substantially and appealing to professionals working across the city.
Buyers should note the service charge is approximately £2,000 per year and ground rent around £200; the property is on a long lease (c. 994 years) and held as a share of freehold. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, and the EPC rating is C, so further improvement works could raise energy efficiency and comfort.
Overall this apartment combines period character, generous internal space and exceptional transport links. It will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance one-bedroom with scope for modest energy upgrades.
