A bright two-bedroom flat in the heart of Notting Hill, this property combines period character with a usable private garden and open-plan living. The flat’s private entrance and west-facing garden provide outdoor space rarely found at this price in W11, while the living room’s high ceilings and fireplace add charm and natural light. At around 725 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or small families seeking easy access to Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove.
Practical details are straightforward: share of freehold with c.90 years remaining on the lease, a below-average service charge (£780), double glazing (installed before 2002) and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. These features help keep running costs reasonable, but the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades.
Buyers should note material drawbacks candidly. The lease length (90 years) is moderate for mortgage and resale considerations—extending the lease will be an additional cost. The local area records high crime and is classed as very deprived, which may concern some buyers and affect insurance or security needs. Interior areas are well presented but there is scope for modernization in places (kitchen finishes and bathroom) if a more contemporary specification is desired.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located flat offering private outdoor space and convenient transport links. It will appeal to buyers who prioritise position and garden access in Notting Hill and who are comfortable budgeting for possible energy upgrades and a future lease extension.
