Set on the second floor of a well-maintained Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom flat offers classic period proportions and a green outlook over the private communal garden. High ceilings and large sash windows flood the reception room with light, while a separate fully fitted kitchen and efficient room layout make everyday living straightforward. At about 654 sq ft the apartment sits comfortably for central London living, close to Hyde Park and within walking distance of Lancaster Gate, Bayswater and Paddington transport links.
Practical details are transparent: the property is leasehold with 147 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,400 and ground rent of £147. Council tax is in the higher band and local recorded crime levels are above average for the area — factors to weigh for buyers prioritising running costs and security.
The building is an attractive period terrace with solid brick walls typical of pre-1900 construction; this gives character and thermal mass but also means insulation may be limited and some buyers might consider upgrading for improved energy efficiency. The communal garden is a clear lifestyle benefit for central London living.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a characterful central London home or an investment in a prime W2 location. It balances generous reception space and garden views against predictable central-London running costs and the practicalities of older construction.
