63out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,500,000, this is attractively priced against the local average at £1,157 per sq ft versus £1,398, making it a compelling opportunity to acquire a period house in Notting Hill. The four-floor layout, traditional proportions, decorative brick frontage and private rear garden offer a strong canvas for a substantial transformation, with nearby shops, cafés, green space and Holland Park station adding to the appeal.

This is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic refresh: the visible rooms need extensive making good, with worn floors and dated finishes, and the lower-level rear area shows staining and deterioration that warrant investigation. The frontage appears broadly intact, but the roof condition is not established. The overall result is a C-grade opportunity: the price and fundamentals are appealing, while the scale of the work is a significant part of the proposition.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the four-floor layout and period proportions to create a home tailored to the next owner.
  • Restore the decorative brick frontage and bring the worn interiors, flooring and dated kitchen and bathroom spaces into a coherent finish.
  • Improve the enclosed rear courtyard to make better use of its private outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Stripped-back, worn interiors and deterioration across the visible areas mean planning for a full interior rebuild and a substantial programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Staining and deterioration in the lower-level rear area need investigation; the roof condition is not established.
