One Bedroom Garden Apartment | £495,000

Welcome to a home where Victorian charm meets modern convenience. This beautifully presented ground floor garden apartment sits within a handsome conversion on one of Kensal Rise's most desirable tree-lined residential roads. Here, the appeal is simple but powerful: your own private garden and the rare pleasure of peaceful living just moments from everything this vibrant neighbourhood offers.

A garden you will actually use

The real magic of ground-floor living reveals itself the moment you step from the kitchen onto your private south/west facing patio garden. Secluded, sun-soaked and wonderfully usable, this is outdoor space that genuinely enhances your daily life. Morning coffee in the sunshine, weekend barbecues with friends or simply somewhere to breathe: this garden transforms how you live in London.

Light-filled living with room to grow

Inside, the generous reception room immediately impresses with its elegant bay windows and characterful fireplace, creating a bright and welcoming space that feels both classic and contemporary. The separate eat-in kitchen is fully fitted and practical, offering genuine dining space rather than a token breakfast bar. The large double bedroom provides proper proportions and plenty of storage, while the three-piece family bathroom completes this well planned home.

Throughout, you will find wood flooring, double glazing, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. All the elements that make Victorian conversions so endlessly appealing.

Future potential included

For those with vision, there is the exciting possibility to extend via a side return (subject to the usual planning permissions), transforming this already lovely one bedroom apartment into a fantastic two bedroom garden home. The application process is straightforward and the potential is significant; whether you choose to extend now or leave it as an option for the future.

The ownership advantage

This property is offered with a Share of Freehold and comes chain free, meaning no Ground Rent or Service Charges and the freedom to complete on your timeline. This is the kind of ownership structure that makes life (and budgeting) refreshingly simple.

The perfect position

College Road epitomizes what makes this corner of Kensal Rise so sought-after: a peaceful, tree lined residential street that's nonetheless moments from the action. Chamberlayne Road's independent shops and cafes, College Road's local favourites and Salusbury Road's buzzing restaurant scene are all on your doorstep.

Transport connections are exceptional with Kensal Rise (Overground), Kensal Green and Queen's Park (both Bakerloo line & Overground) stations providing swift access to Central London, complemented by numerous bus routes. Families will appreciate the catchment for excellent schools including Princess Frederica, Malorees, Ark Franklin and Kenmont primaries, College Green and Treetops nurseries, plus the wider selection of outstanding private and state schools across Notting Hill, North Kensington, St John's Wood and Hampstead.

Perfect for

First-time buyers seeking a genuine home with garden space and future potential. Downsizers who want the best of both worlds, manageable living space with the luxury of outdoor access. Investors looking for a solid buy-to-let in a perennially popular location with strong rental demand and the bonus of freehold ownership.
