Set on a tranquil garden square in the heart of Hyde Park, this freehold five‑bedroom mid‑terrace occupies 2,430 sqft across four floors. The layout includes a double reception room, separate dining room, kitchen with utility, five large bedrooms, two ensuites, two family bathrooms and a guest toilet — a comfortable family home with clear circulation and scope for modernising finishes.
Period character is strong: solid brick facade, large sash‑style windows and high ceilings in parts recall the Georgian/Victorian context. The property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for modern working lives — plus direct access to a small private square garden and outstanding central location close to Marylebone, Paddington and premier shopping and transport links.
Notable practical points are candidly stated: the house was built 1900–1929 with assumed solid brick walls and no built‑in insulation, so upgrading thermal performance and services could be needed. Council tax is very expensive; the area records above‑average crime levels. The plot is small and outside space limited. Heating runs from mains gas boilers and radiators (LPG also referenced), so buyers should survey heating and hot‑water systems.
This home suits a family seeking central London space, period proportions and excellent schools nearby, or a professional household wanting easy access to Hyde Park and transport. It also offers clear potential for targeted refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and contemporary finishes.
