Characterful Victorian conversion with excellent transport links and share of freehold..
One bedroom, circa 400 sq.ft; compact lateral layout
Share of freehold; 122 years remaining on lease
No service charge or ground rent reported
High ceilings and period bay window add character and light
Excellent transport: Acton Central (Overground) and Elizabeth line nearby
Solid-brick walls assumed without insulation; retrofit costs likely
Double glazing installed pre-2002; may need upgrading for efficiency
Local area: very high crime and higher deprivation — important consideration
A compact one-bedroom first-floor conversion in Poets Corner offering circa 400 sq.ft of living space and share of freehold. The Victorian building retains high ceilings and tall bay windows that help the apartment feel more spacious than its footprint suggests. Transport links are a major asset: Acton Central Overground is just over a five-minute walk, and Acton Main Line (Elizabeth line) is under a mile.
The flat is laterally arranged with an open-plan kitchen/living area and a separate bedroom and bathroom. There are no annual service charges or ground rent, and 122 years remain on the lease — practical ownership terms for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a London foothold. Council tax is in an affordable band.
Buyers should note the property is small and will suit someone prioritising location and transport over generous interiors. The building is solid-brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation and the double glazing appears to predate 2002, so there may be retrofit costs to improve thermal efficiency. The local area has very high crime statistics and higher deprivation levels, which is an important consideration for families and long-term occupiers.
Overall, this is a transport-focused, value-driven opportunity: a characterful Victorian conversion with immediate access to central and east London, good nearby schools, and scope for modest cosmetic improvement. It will particularly suit a first-time buyer or investor who values connectivity and period features and is comfortable with a compact urban home.
