Set on the top (third) floor of a well‑maintained period conversion, this bright one‑bedroom flat offers nearly 500 sq ft of practical city living. A generous reception room with a large sash window provides good natural light and space to dine; the separate kitchen has plentiful cabinets and the double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes. Residents benefit from access to a communal garden and excellent transport links nearby, including Paddington station and multiple Underground lines.
The property is presented in neutral, contemporary condition and suits a single professional or couple seeking a compact Hyde Park/W2 base close to Oxford Street and the West End. The long lease (172 years remaining) is a strong tenure feature; service charge and ground rent are payable (approx. £1,592 service charge; £10 ground rent).
Notable negatives are straightforward: the flat is on the top floor so access is by stairs only, there is no private outdoor space, and the local area records higher crime levels. Construction is original solid brick (pre‑1900) and walls likely lack modern insulation, which may affect heating efficiency despite mains gas boiler and radiators. Prospective buyers should budget for routine maintenance and possible energy‑efficiency improvements if desired.
