Set on the fourth floor of an impressive stucco-fronted Grade II listed building, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary finishes. At around 688 sq ft the flat feels larger than typical one-beds, with high ceilings, a bright west-facing open-plan reception and a generous double bedroom. A lift serves the floor and the long lease and share of freehold provide ownership stability.
The interior has been updated while retaining period details such as cornices and a fireplace. Practical modern benefits include double glazing, gas boiler heating with radiators, and fast broadband and mobile signals — useful for home working. The location is a major draw: Hyde Park on your doorstep and excellent transport links (Queensway, Bayswater, Paddington) plus abundant local shops, cafés and amenities.
Buyers should note key running costs and constraints: the service charge is high (approx. £4,100 pa) and council tax banding is expensive. The property’s listed status means external and some internal works may require listed building consent and will limit alteration options. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which could affect heat retention and running costs despite recent refurbishment.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a stylish central London home or a city investor wanting a well-presented one-bedroom in a prime W2 location. It offers immediate move-in condition and strong rental appeal, but factor in higher ongoing charges and listed-building requirements before proceeding.
