Summary - 48a St. Lukes Road W11 1DH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Period charm with outdoor space near Portobello Road.
Private entrance and west-facing garden for evening sun
An elegant two-bedroom flat in the heart of Notting Hill, this period property combines classic features with a private outdoor space. The flat benefits from its own entrance, high ceilings, a fireplace and a west-facing garden that extends living space for evening sun and al fresco dining. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area includes a convenient guest cloakroom, making the layout practical for both daily living and entertaining.
Practical details suit an owner-occupier or investor: the home has mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a below-average service charge of £780. The flat is sold as a share of freehold with 89 years remaining on the lease — adequate but worth noting if you plan long-term ownership or future mortgage lender requirements.
Location is a major draw: St. Luke’s Road sits moments from Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove amenities, with excellent transport links (Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Park and Notting Hill Gate nearby). Local conveniences and a wide selection of shops, cafés and restaurants are within easy reach.
Be candid about the fabric and context: the building dates from 1930–1949 and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, which, together with older double glazing, may mean higher heating costs and future retrofit work to improve energy performance. The area records high local crime and very high deprivation indices — important factors for some buyers and for those considering rental income or resale plans.
