Set within a handsome Victorian conversion on Chesterton Road, this lower-ground one-bedroom offers generous proportions across approximately 592 sq ft. The reception and bedroom are well-sized for the floor area, with natural light from large windows and period detailing retained in an otherwise updated interior.
Practical benefits include a long lease (137 years), very low annual service charge (£100), gas boiler heating with radiators, and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for commuters and home-workers. The location is a major plus: tree-lined streets, close to Ladbroke Grove, Portobello Road and local green spaces, with excellent transport links.
Buyers should note local challenges: the immediate area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels, and council tax is Band E. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation. The lower-ground position may suit some and deter others; there is no flooding risk recorded.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking character and space in W10, or an investor targeting rental demand in a lively, well-connected West London neighbourhood. Essential checks including conveyancing and local condition surveys are recommended before progressing.
