Set on Moscow Road in Bayswater, this spacious one-bedroom apartment offers 652 sq ft of living space and a large reception room, rare for central London. The flat is chain-free, on a long lease (114 years remaining), and sits just 0.3 miles from Bayswater/Queensway stations and the green expanse of Hyde Park — ideal for commuters and buyers who value proximity to central amenities.
The apartment is presented in good condition with double-aspect windows and double glazing, plus a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. Annual service charge is around £1,700 with a nominal ground rent of £10; council tax is above average for the area.
Practical considerations are clear: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with cavity walls (no added insulation assumed), and crime levels in the local area are reported as very high. Buyers should factor in running and security costs and consider survey advice on services and insulation if energy efficiency is important.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a well-located city flat with strong transport links, scope to add personal upgrades, and immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. Its combination of size, location and long lease provides a solid central-London proposition.
