Set on the second floor of an attractive period conversion, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-proportioned city home in Bayswater. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from high Georgian-style ceilings, large sash/bay windows and stripped timber floors that enhance natural light and street-tree views over Leinster Square. Access to the communal gardens is available by application, adding rare outdoor space for central London living.
The double bedroom is a practical size for a single occupant or couple, and the bathroom is described as modern. The property measures approximately 538 sq ft and has an Energy Rating C, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and typical period construction details that contribute to character but may limit insulation performance.
Practical considerations include a 97-year lease (leasehold), an annual service charge around £4,000 and above-average council tax. The location delivers excellent transport links — Bayswater, Queensway and Notting Hill Gate are nearby — and immediate access to shops, cafes and schools, making it well suited to a professional, commuter or couple seeking central convenience and period charm.
Buyers should note the higher local crime score and assumed solid-brick walls with limited insulation, which could affect running costs despite the Energy C rating. The flat is presented as modern and well-finished but, given the service charge and tenure, buyers should review the lease details and service charge breakdown before committing.
