- 24-hour porterage, passenger and goods lifts

Set on the third floor of a red-brick Edwardian mansion block, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment combines period proportions with central London convenience. A generous double reception and high ceilings give bright living space, while the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite. Residents enjoy 24-hour porterage, passenger and goods lifts, and access to Porchester Square Gardens.
Transport links are excellent: Paddington (Elizabeth line, Heathrow Express), Queensway, Bayswater and Royal Oak stations are all close, with frequent buses and short walks to Hyde Park. The building runs a communal heating and hot-water scheme and comes with a long lease of 134 years, making ownership straightforward for many buyers.
Important practical points: the annual service charge is high at approximately £8,250 and council tax sits at Band E. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. There’s no private outdoor space, though nearby parks are within easy reach.
For a first-time buyer seeking period character, strong transport connections and concierge security, this apartment offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with potential to personalise. Be aware of ongoing running costs and local safety statistics when comparing options.
