Local area: above-average crime and higher deprivation
This newly renovated raised ground-floor apartment combines period charm with contemporary living in a compact, well-arranged layout. The open-plan kitchen/lounge with a striking bay window creates a bright living space, while the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite and direct access to a private rear garden — a rare find for this size.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: share of freehold tenure, double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a manageable service charge of £1,320 per year. The property sits moments from Acton Central (Crossrail access) and Acton High Street amenities, with several highly rated primary and secondary schools within reach.
Be upfront about the drawbacks: the overall footprint is small (601 sq ft) so storage and entertaining space are limited. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation, which could mean higher heating costs unless improved. The neighbourhood shows above-average crime and higher area deprivation, so buyers should visit at different times and check local reports.
For a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready flat with outdoor space and excellent transport links, this apartment offers immediate comfort and good onward potential. Consider modest insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades to reduce running costs and boost long-term value.
