Light-filled contemporary living in central Paddington, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers unusually large outdoor space for the area. The bright open-plan reception flows to an expansive private terrace, ideal for entertaining or outdoor relaxation. Integrated modern kitchen, walnut finishes and floor-to-ceiling glazing create a polished, low-fuss interior ready to move into.
Practical strengths include secure portered development with lift access, long lease (965 years), two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms including an en suite. The flat’s 1,076 sq ft footprint is generous by local standards and suits buyers seeking space close to Paddington transport links and Hyde Park.
Be transparent about costs and location: the property carries an above-average service charge (£6,000) and ground rent (£300), and broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow. Local recorded crime levels are very high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation — important for buyers prioritising quiet or low-crime neighbourhoods.
This apartment suits professionals or investors wanting a stylish central London pied-à-terre or rental asset with strong transport appeal. The long lease and high specification reduce immediate maintenance concerns, but factor in ongoing service charges and potential broadband upgrades when comparing total ownership costs.
