Netherwood Road, West Kensington, W14

This is one of those flats that just feels good the moment you walk in.

It’s a two-bedroom, lower ground floor place on a really nice end-of-terrace building, literally a 4-minute walk from Shepherd’s Bush (Central Line), so super easy for getting around. But what makes it stand out is how much work has gone into it — the owners bought it completely unmodernised and have basically rebuilt it from scratch, and it shows. Everything feels clean, well thought out, and properly finished.

Even though it’s lower ground, it’s surprisingly bright. They’ve landscaped the front garden in a way that brings loads of light in, so it never feels dark or basement-y. At the back, you’ve got a private garden that’s perfect for morning coffee or having friends over when the weather’s decent.

The layout works really well — two genuinely good-sized bedrooms (not box-room compromises), a really nicely done bathroom, and then an open-plan kitchen/living space at the back that opens straight out onto the garden. It’s the kind of setup that just works for everyday living, whether that’s quiet nights in or having people round.

It’s also share of freehold, which is a big plus, and the building itself is a lovely period conversion.

Slightly biased, but this was actually the first flat we ever sold as a company about three and a half years ago — and seeing what it’s been turned into now is pretty special.

If you’re looking for your first place and want something you don’t have to touch, in a really well-connected spot, this is a very good option.
