2 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious period two-bedroom duplex with private patio, parking and excellent transport links..
Large 908 sq ft period duplex with impressive 3.5m+ ceilings
Share of freehold with approximately 962 years remaining on lease
Private patio accessed from both bedrooms; residents' permit parking
Two double bedrooms, principal with en suite; separate family shower room
Service charge c. £4,500 pa — above average
Broadband speeds reported as very slow; may need upgrading
Solid brick walls likely lack insulation — potential higher heating costs

Set over raised ground and lower-ground levels, this elegant period maisonette offers generous, light-filled rooms and genuine period proportions. High ceilings (over 3.5m) and tall sash windows create a bright dual-aspect reception/dining space that opens toward a private patio, while two double bedrooms below both have patio access and fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and there is a separate family shower room for convenience.
Practical strengths include a long share-of-freehold lease (circa 962 years), off-street residents’ permit parking and a sizeable 908 sq ft footprint, rare for central Bayswater. Transport links are excellent with Paddington mainline, the Elizabeth line and Lancaster Gate nearby; Hyde Park and local shops/restaurants are a short walk away.
Buyers should note a few material negatives: service charges are above average at about £4,500 pa and council tax is expensive. The building’s solid brick construction likely has little cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — factors that could increase running costs or require investment. The area records a high crime rate, which may concern some purchasers despite the central location.
This property suits buyers seeking period character, substantial rooms and central-city convenience — families or professionals who value space, transport access and a private outdoor area, and who are willing to budget for service costs and possible energy or tech upgrades.
