Harvey W James is delighted to present this brand new two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on the 14th floor of Emerald House, part of Barratt London's landmark Royal Gateway development in North Acton, W3. Offered unfurnished and set high on the 14th floor with a south-facing private balcony and far-reaching views, this home pairs a bright open-plan living space with a high-specification integrated kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside access to an impressive suite of residents' facilities.
Thoughtfully laid out across approximately 712 sq ft (66.2 sqm) of internal accommodation, the apartment is arranged around a generous open-plan kitchen and living area extending to 6.56 m (21'6") in length. Full-height sliding doors open directly onto the private balcony, while a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows draws in abundant natural light and frames an open, elevated south-facing outlook across the rooftops of West London.
The kitchen is finished to Barratt London's signature specification, with handleless gloss cabinetry, marble-effect worktops and splashback, and a full suite of integrated AEG and Electrolux appliances. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with soft fitted carpet, the principal benefiting from its own en-suite, while a separate main bathroom, a utility cupboard and a well-proportioned entrance hall complete the layout. Heating is provided by panel radiators served by the development's communal heating network, complemented by comfort cooling and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
Royal Gateway is one of West London's most significant new regeneration schemes, and residents of Emerald House enjoy access to a residents' gym, a concierge, a residents' lounge with co-working space and landscaped rooftop and podium gardens. With North Acton (Central line) a short walk away and Acton Main Line (Elizabeth line) close by, this is a superbly connected, brand new home offering the very best of contemporary North Acton living.

Leisure
Emerald House sits within Barratt London's Royal Gateway, one of West London's most significant new regeneration schemes, transforming North Acton into a vibrant, well-connected residential quarter. Residents benefit from an impressive line-up of on-site facilities, including a residents' gym, a concierge, a residents' lounge with co-working space and landscaped rooftop and podium gardens offering panoramic views across the city, along with secure cycle storage.
The location places residents at the heart of North Acton's transformation, moments from the open green space of Wormwood Scrubs and within easy reach of the shops, restaurants and entertainment of Westfield London at White City, just minutes away by Underground. Acton's own high streets and the wider Acton regeneration area provide a growing choice of independent cafes, supermarkets and everyday amenities close to hand.
For commuters and connectivity, few West London locations can match North Acton: it sits at the meeting point of the Central line, the Elizabeth line and the future Old Oak Common HS2 super-hub, placing the City, the West End and Heathrow all within comfortable reach.

Deposit Information
This property is available with Reposit's No Deposit solution, so you won't have to pay a security deposit. Instead, you would pay a small check-in fee of one week's rent – significantly less than a five-week deposit. This fee is non-refundable and is not a deposit so can not be used towards covering the cost of any future damages that might occur.
Holding deposit Prospective applicants will be required to pay a Holding Deposit equivalent to a maximum of 1 weeks rent. Once the holding deposit has been received, Harvey W James will suspend marketing of the rental property for a period of 15 calendar days subject to referencing commencing promptly. Upon successful references being completed, acceptable and the tenancy being confirmed by Harvey W James, the holding deposit paid will then contribute towards the first months rental payment.
