Set on a charming street just off Westbourne Grove, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment pairs period character with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from high ceilings and good natural light, creating an airy social space ideal for modern city life. The oversized double bedroom provides comfortable proportions uncommon in similar-size W2 flats.
Practical points strengthen the proposition: the flat measures approximately 473 sq ft, has a modern bathroom, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — all useful for working from home or short-term letting. The long lease (around 171 years) and an Energy Rating C are positives for buyers and investors.
Buyers should note material downsides honestly: the building appears to have solid brick walls with limited insulation (typical of pre-1900 construction), and the service charge is noted at about £1,000 (frequency not specified). Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, which may concern some purchasers; there is no private outdoor space or notable views. Tenure type is not specified here and should be confirmed before exchange.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-connected central London base, this flat offers a straightforward, well-presented canvas in a high-demand W2 location. Proximity to Bayswater and Queensway stations, Westbourne Grove’s shops and cafés, and ongoing local regeneration support both lifestyle and rental appeal, while modest updating or insulation work could add further value.
