A Victorian mid-terrace set over three floors in a prime Notting Hill location, this freehold townhouse offers period character, high ceilings and a south-facing garden. At about 1,221 sq ft, the layout currently provides a grand reception, open-plan lower ground kitchen/diner with garden access, and three bedrooms across the upper floors.
The house requires renovation and thermal upgrades (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated and double glazing of unknown age). There is scope to modernise and potentially extend, subject to planning — an opportunity for a family seeking long-term space or an investor aiming to add value. Note that any extension would need planning approval; no application is specified.
Practical positives include mains gas heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very short walks to Notting Hill Gate station, Portobello Road and local amenities. Local schools include highly regarded state and independent options nearby. Limitations: the plot is small, the property needs work throughout, and the local area records higher crime levels, which buyers should factor into decisions.
