Set on the ninth floor of the Balmoral Apartments in Paddington Basin, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers bright waterside living with open city views. The 852 sq ft layout includes an open-plan living/kitchen, two double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a dedicated parking space — a rare find in central London developments.
The development provides 24-hour concierge and CCTV security and sits close to Paddington and Edgware Road stations for fast transport links. The apartment is well-proportioned with double glazing and modern finishes from a 2003–2006 build, appealing to professionals seeking low-maintenance, central accommodation.
Buyers should note several practical issues: main heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the local crime rate is very high. Service charge and running costs are above average (approx. £7,000 pa) with a ground rent of £350; council tax is also described as quite expensive.
This property suits someone wanting secure, waterside city living with parking and strong transport access — whether an investor attracted by location or a professional household prioritising convenience. It requires acceptance of higher service charges, limited heating efficiency, and slower internet provision when weighing value.
