Traditional building with renovation/upgrading potential
A bright one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, tucked just off Westbourne Grove and moments from Hyde Park. Large windows and high ceilings create a spacious feel in a compact, well-configured 490 sq ft layout suited to city living. The open-plan kitchen/living area is contemporary and practical for everyday use or rental appeal.
The building is a traditional late-Victorian mid-terrace with a long lease (171 years) and no immediate leasehold pressure. Transport links are excellent with Notting Hill Gate and Bayswater nearby for Central, Circle and District lines, while local shops, cafés and independent schools make the location particularly convenient for professionals and students.
Notable negatives are factual: the flat has single glazing and the party walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so heating bills may be higher than modern standards. Crime in the immediate area is reported as high; buyers should factor personal security and insurance considerations. The property is leasehold; service charges and ground rent should be confirmed before purchase.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a characterful, centrally located home or an investor after reliable rental demand. It offers immediate move-in with modest updating potential to improve thermal efficiency and resale value.
