This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offers a city-base in NW6 with good transport links and easy access to Paddington Recreation Ground. At 539 sq ft the layout suits buyers seeking a manageable urban home or an investor targeting rental demand in a well-connected area.
The building is a traditional Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls and double glazing. The flat is leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining; ground rent is modest at £135. There is no private outdoor space and the property sits above ground-floor retail, so expect street noise at times.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Notable negatives are the below-90-year lease term (affecting mortgageability and future extension costs), above-average local crime statistics, and assumed lack of wall insulation in the original solid brick construction, which may require improvement for comfort and efficiency.
Early virtual viewing is recommended to check layout and noise levels before an in-person visit. This flat suits a first-time buyer wanting a compact pied-à-terre with transport convenience, or an investor after a modest-size rental in a multi-ethnic professional neighbourhood.
