A bright one-bedroom first-floor flat in Notting Dale, positioned on St. Ann’s Road close to Portobello Market and local transport. The living room benefits from large windows and natural light; a separate shaker-style kitchen includes built-in appliances and plumbing for a washing machine. The bedroom is a comfortable double and the bathroom is modern and functional. Double glazing and gas central heating with boiler and radiators are already in place.
Practical ownership is supported by a very long lease (about 160 years) and low ground rent of £10. Monthly service charge is approximately £1,950, which buyers should factor into running costs. The property’s footprint is compact (about 513 sq ft) and suits someone wanting a low-maintenance city base rather than large family living.
The location is a key selling point: excellent public transport (Latimer Road nearby), fast broadband and strong mobile signal make it good for commuters and working professionals. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within reach and Holland Park provides easy access to green space. However, the immediate neighbourhood records high crime levels and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may influence resale values and personal security considerations.
Overall this flat is ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-upkeep central London one-bedroom with long lease security. It offers immediate move-in convenience but buyers should weigh the high service charge and local area safety metrics when deciding to view.
