A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat set in an attractive Victorian building in Poets Corner, Acton. The apartment offers a bright reception room, two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom across compact 521 sqft — a practical layout for a first-time buyer or someone trading down. The communal south-facing garden is a genuine bonus for outdoor space in this inner-city location.
Practical strengths include a long lease (118 years), no onward chain and excellent local transport links with Acton Overground and Acton Mainline within easy reach. Churchfield Road’s cafes, shops and eateries are close by, and several strong primary and secondary schools sit in the neighbourhood, which will appeal to buyers looking to settle locally.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of £1,526 and ground rent of £300. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls without assumed insulation; prospective purchasers should consider potential costs for thermal upgrades or other works. Internal space is modest at 521 sqft — comfortable but smaller than many newer two-bed homes.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a period property in a well-connected pocket of W3. It presents ready-to-live-in accommodation with scope for value-led improvements (insulation, cosmetic updating) rather than a full renovation.
