Set within a stucco-fronted period building in Little Venice, this raised ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines genuine character with practical city living. High ceilings, expansive sash windows and a south-west aspect flood the open-plan reception with light, while a private entrance and direct access to the communal gardens give a rare sense of autonomy and outdoor amenity for a central-London flat.
At about 594 sq ft the apartment is compact and thoughtfully laid out, suited to a couple, small family or investor seeking a well-located property with strong lifestyle appeal. Integrated storage and contemporary finishes complement the period features, but note there is a single bathroom and limited overall floor area compared with larger family homes in the area.
Buyers should be aware the building is listed. That status preserves attractive period detail but may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and consent for works. Walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, and the property’s age (c.1900–1929) means heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators—future retrofitting or insulation upgrades could be constrained and potentially costly.
Practical costs include an average service charge of around £2,200 and above‑average council tax. Tenure is share of freehold, which is a benefit for owner involvement in management, but prospective purchasers should review the building’s listed-related obligations, service charge accounts and any garden-access arrangements before committing.
