Light-filled and well-proportioned, this two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a handsome period conversion on Westbourne Park Road, moments from Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove. The reception room benefits from high ceilings and a large window, and both double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes — a practical layout for a couple or two sharers. The kitchen is fitted and the bathroom is presented in smart condition, ready to move into.
At around 565 sq ft, the apartment offers efficient living in a prime Notting Hill location with excellent transport links (Westbourne Park station nearby), fast broadband and strong mobile signal. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the area (service charge £960pa; ground rent £200pa). There is no immediate flooding risk.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, which will affect mortgage and resale options and may require planning for lease extension costs. The building is a solid-brick Victorian terrace assumed to have no cavity insulation; further insulation or energy improvements could be needed. The wider area shows pockets of deprivation despite being popular and cosmopolitan.
This flat will suit someone who values location and period character and is comfortable with a compact 565 sq ft home and the responsibilities of a leasehold investment. It represents a straightforward, low-maintenance base in an iconic part of West London, with clear potential for modest updating to improve energy efficiency or personalise the finish.
