First-floor period conversion with high ceilings and bay window

Excellent transport links and wide local amenities
An airy one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, this flat makes an efficient city base in West Kensington. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from high ceilings and a bay window, giving plenty of natural light and a sense of space in a compact 411 sq ft layout. The double bedroom and modern bathroom complete a straightforward, move-in-ready home for a single occupant or couple.
Practical strengths include a very long lease with share of freehold, convenient access to multiple tube and Overground stations, and a neighbourhood rich in cafés, shops and local amenities. Council tax is described as affordable and the area scores highly for professional residents and education options, making it suitable for first-time buyers wanting a stable urban location.
Notable limitations are the property’s small overall size and an EPC rating of D, which suggests scope for improving energy efficiency. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so buyers should budget for potential insulating or heating upgrades if lower running costs and comfort are priorities. These improvements offer clear upside for owners willing to invest.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into Fulham with immediate use and straightforward renovation potential. Its combination of period character, modern fittings and an exceptionally long lease presents long-term ownership security with realistic opportunities to enhance value and comfort over time.
