Bright two-bedroom flat near Hyde Park — ideal pied-à-terre or buy-to-let.
Third floor Victorian conversion — no lift
Set on the third floor (no lift) of an elegant stucco-fronted Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers bright rooms and high ceilings in a prime Bayswater location. The open-plan reception with fitted kitchen and breakfast bar suits contemporary living, while an en-suite principal bedroom and separate bathroom work well for sharers or a buy-to-let layout.
The home sits moments from Hyde Park and within easy reach of Bayswater, Queensway and Lancaster Gate stations, with a wide choice of cafes, shops and amenities on the doorstep. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working from home.
Practical considerations: the property is small at 571 sq ft, heated by electric storage radiators, and has secondary glazing and assumed solid brick walls without insulation. There is no lift to the third floor and crime rates in the area are above average. The lease has about 96 years remaining, service charges average £3,457.80 per year and council tax is above average — all important for budgeting.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a central, characterful pied-à-terre or an investor targeting strong rental demand close to transport and Hyde Park. It will require ongoing modernisation in parts and careful consideration of service and running costs before purchase.
