Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on a private road in Bayswater, this one-bedroom apartment offers striking period proportions and a leafy terrace in one of central London's most convenient pockets. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a marble fireplace give the principal rooms an elegant, classic character while large French doors open to a small private balcony with mature-tree views.
The flat is arranged with a substantial reception room, separate fitted kitchen with space for dining, a generous bedroom with period detail, and a contemporary shower room. Its 796 sq ft footprint feels unusually large for a one-bedroom in this area, making it suitable for entertaining or comfortable everyday living.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with 81 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£5,003 pa) and a small annual ground rent (£180). Heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, which may affect running costs and require investment. Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime level is very high; these are important practical considerations for residents and insurers.
This apartment will appeal to a purchaser seeking period character and central location—Hyde Park, Paddington and the West End are all easily accessible—who is comfortable with leasehold ownership and the likely need to review heating and insulation over time.
