This sixth-floor one-bedroom apartment in W3 offers a compact, well-laid-out 550 sq ft living space with a large private balcony and communal gardens — a rare outdoor asset for a one-bed in this area. The modern development provides practical extras such as secure cycle storage, underfloor heating and a clear, long lease (118 years), making it straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance home or rental unit.
The flat sits on a mixed-use street with shops at ground level and excellent transport links: South Acton (Overground) nearby and both Chiswick Park and Acton Town stations within walking distance. Service charge (£213pcm) and modest ground rent (£100pa) are transparent and reasonable for the building; the property is offered chain-free for a quicker completion.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood and building details factually: the wider area scores as very deprived with above-average local crime rates, and the block fronts a street-level retail parade which may bring daytime noise. Heating is via a communal scheme, so communal costs and control are factors to consider. The flat is modest in size but the balcony significantly extends usable living space; light cosmetic updating to kitchen or bathroom could add value.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises transport links, a private outdoor space and a modern, low-maintenance finish — while accepting urban location trade-offs and communal service arrangements.
