Bright one-bedroom flat in a portered Art Deco building, positioned moments from Hyde Park and the shops of Queensway and Westbourne Grove. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a flexible living and dining area with plenty of natural light, while the double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes. Public transport links at Paddington and multiple bus routes are within easy reach.
The property occupies the ground floor of a 1930s building and is presented with modern finishes throughout, including wood-style flooring and integrated kitchen appliances. The long lease (135 years remaining) gives security for buyers; broadband and mobile signals are strong and convenient for working from home.
Important practical points: the flat is compact at approximately 387 sq ft and service charges are high (£7,497 pa) with a small ground rent (£150 pa). Heating runs on a community mains-gas scheme and the building appears to have solid brick walls with assumed no insulation. The surrounding area is inner-city cosmopolitan with higher-than-average local crime rates, which may concern some buyers.
This apartment suits a purchaser seeking central London convenience — a first home or city-based professional wanting direct access to green space, transport and local amenities. The size and service costs mean it’s best considered by buyers who prioritise location and convenience over large living space or low running costs.
