Gransden Road, Wendell Park, W12

Honestly, this is one of those properties you just wouldn’t come across unless someone told you about it. Gransden Road is a really pretty, tucked-away street just off Wendell Road — quiet, full of character, and right next to Wendell Park. It’s one of those roads that locals love but most buyers don’t even know exists.

The flat itself is a duplex and comes in at around 1,000 sqft, and you can tell it’s been properly thought through. It feels really well put together without trying too hard — clean, modern, but still warm and liveable.

On the first floor, you’ve got a great living space with loads of natural light coming through the big windows, plus really useful built-in shelving and storage (the kind you actually need but rarely get). The kitchen sits just off it and is genuinely impressive — marble worktops, loads of cupboard space and a proper Rangemaster, so it’s ideal if you actually like cooking or having people over.

Upstairs is where it gets really interesting. The main bedroom takes up the top floor and feels completely different to your standard loft conversion. The ceiling height is noticeably higher — about 1.6x what you’d usually get — so it feels much more like a proper room than a converted space. You’ve also got great light from both sides with Velux windows and a Juliet balcony, plus a really nicely finished bathroom with a big walk-in shower.

There’s also a second bedroom on the lower level — a good smaller double — with a lovely bathroom next door, so it works really well for guests, a home office, or both.

But the real selling point here is the roof terrace. It’s big, west-facing, and backs straight onto Wendell Park — and importantly, there’s nothing behind you at all. That’s incredibly rare around here. It feels open, private, and you get amazing afternoon and evening sun. It’s the kind of space you actually end up using all the time.

On the practical side, it’s a leasehold with a long lease, but you can buy into the share of freehold for around £7,500. There’s also no service charge and no ground rent, which is a huge plus.
