A one-bedroom super lower ground floor flat with private garden set within a handsome stucco-fronted Grade II listed building on Porchester Square. The flat offers a spacious, traditional layout with good natural light, contemporary wooden flooring in principal rooms and direct access to a private patio and garden — a rare outdoor space in central W2.
This home suits a buyer seeking classic period character combined with city convenience: bays of leafy square gardens, moments from Hyde Park, Westbourne Grove and Paddington transport links. The long lease (172 years) and modest ground rent (£10 p.a.) are practical ownership details, and service charges are reasonable for the setting (£1,350 p.a.).
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate some updates or improvements. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation and any major refurbishment will need listed-building consent. The garden and patio show weathering and overgrowth and will need ongoing maintenance. The local area records higher crime and wider area deprivation statistics, which prospective purchasers should weigh against the location’s transport, amenities, and rental demand potential.
Overall, this flat offers genuine central-London living with outdoor space and period charm. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or investors prepared to work within listed-building constraints and to maintain the private garden space.
