Close to Hyde Park and Paddington transport links
Fourth-floor apartment in 1930s Art Deco block with period façade
Modern kitchen, bright reception with balcony doors
Leasehold sale by online auction — fast purchase timetable
Electric room heaters; no communal heating system

Very high local crime rates; council tax described as expensive
This sizeable one-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of a 1930s Art Deco block offers rare-scale accommodation for W2: roughly 808 sq ft of open-plan living close to Hyde Park and Paddington. The reception room and hand-finished kitchen create an attractive rental or resale layout, and large windows/balcony doors bring good natural light. The property has a current EPC rating of C.
Sold at online auction, the flat is leasehold and sits in a busy central location with excellent transport links and fast broadband — features that suit investors seeking central-let demand or buyers wanting park-side London living. The block’s period façade and neutral interiors reduce immediate decorative work, while the generous bedroom includes fitted storage.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is electric room heaters (no communal gas or central system), glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation. Council tax is described as expensive and the local area records very high crime levels — factors that affect running costs, appeal to some tenant profiles and insurance/management requirements.
Because the sale is by auction, purchasers will need to allow for the accelerated timetable and due-diligence on the lease and legal pack. For investors this is a central London opportunity with strong location fundamentals but with clear management and retrofit costs to budget for (heating, potential insulation and ongoing security/insurance considerations).
