Summary - 8 THE WATER GARDENS LONDON W2 2DA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Generous one-bedroom flat in gated development, moments from Hyde Park — auction sale, leasehold.
Secure gated development with concierge and lift
Set within a gated development arranged around attractive communal water gardens, this fifth-floor one-bedroom flat offers generous living space and a practical layout. The reception room is large enough for dining, the kitchen provides good storage and fitted appliances, and a spacious double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes. Residents benefit from a secure entrance, concierge and lift access. Hyde Park and Connaught Village are moments away, with Mayfair and local amenities within easy reach.
The property is offered at auction on a long lease (approx. 150 years remaining), which can suit buyers seeking a quick, transparent purchase route. Service charge and ground rent are notable: the service charge is high at £6,936 per year and ground rent £600, so factor these running costs into affordability calculations. Crime levels in the area are above average—worth considering for buyers prioritising immediate neighbourhood security.
The building dates from 1967–75 and appears to be system-built with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. These points suggest potential future upgrade costs (insulation, window/thermal improvements) for anyone wanting to reduce bills or improve energy performance. No flood risk is recorded.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking a well-located one-bedroom in an established gated development — either a first-time buyer wanting a roomy apartment near Hyde Park or an investor targeting central London rental demand. Be prepared for auction timescales and factor the above-average service charge and ground rent into your long-term costs and rental calculations.
