This bright one-bedroom apartment in Kensal Rise offers a generous open-plan living space across 549 sq ft, centred on a 25ft lounge/kitchen/diner that opens onto a west-facing balcony. The apartment sits on an upper floor with lift access and benefits from built-in bedroom wardrobes, double glazing, engineered wood floors and plentiful natural light. Residents also have use of well-maintained communal roof gardens with panoramic views.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (circa 249 years), annual service charge around £2,808 (includes building insurance) and a modest ground rent of £250 per year. Main heating is via a community scheme. Council tax band and EPC B reflect reasonable ongoing costs and energy performance, but factor the service charge into affordability calculations.
The location is a strong selling point for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: between Queens Park, Ladbroke Grove and the Grand Union Canal with good transport links via Kensal Rise (London Overground) and nearby Bakerloo line stations. Local amenities, gyms (including a nearby sports centre with pool), shops and several well-rated primary schools are within easy reach.
Note the local context: the area has higher-than-average crime statistics for the borough, so buyers should review local safety data and communal security measures. Overall, this is a modern, well-presented flat with long lease security and communal amenities, suited to buyers wanting a centrally located, low-maintenance home or a lettable investment in an improving neighbourhood.
