Set on the first floor of a period block on Queensborough Terrace, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, contemporary living space moments from Hyde Park. The open-plan living and kitchen is well laid-out for modern city life, with built-in storage and a sleek bathroom making efficient use of the 499 sq ft. A long lease of 975 years provides clear ownership security.
The location is a major draw: Bayswater and Queensway stations are within easy walking distance, with Central, Circle and District lines plus quick links to Paddington and the Heathrow Express. Local cafés, groceries and cultural amenities are all on the doorstep, making the flat a convenient pied-à-terre or a straightforward buy-to-let in a popular central postcode.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the EPC rating is E — energy costs may be higher than modern-rated homes. The building has a relatively high service charge (around £4,000 pa) and a small ground rent (£200 pa); council tax is above average. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a well-located, well-presented one-bedroom for someone seeking a central London base or rental investment. The long lease and period character combined with contemporary interior touches create immediate usability, while energy performance and running costs represent the main compromises.
