Set across the first and second floors of an immaculate white stucco period building, this recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment combines grand Victorian proportions with contemporary finishings. The reception room impresses with high ceilings, a feature fireplace, bay windows and a front balcony overlooking the garden square. A well-equipped fitted kitchen with Miele appliances and bespoke hallway joinery add practical, high-quality touches.
The layout offers flexible living: a first-floor bedroom opens onto a private rear terrace, while the second-floor principal bedroom features a dressing area, luxurious en suite and a Juliette balcony. Multiple balconies and the terrace provide good cross-flow ventilation and private outdoor space rare for central London apartments of this size (1102 sq ft / 102.3 sq m).
Practical strengths include a very long lease (978 years) and share of freehold ownership. Transport links are excellent — Lancaster Gate, Queensway, Bayswater and Paddington nearby — and the location places Kensington Gardens and the Italian Gardens within a short walk. Local amenities and a mix of primary and independent schools are immediately accessible.
Considerations: the property is in a higher-crime postcode relative to national averages and the service charge is above average at £5,196 per annum. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited inherent wall insulation typical of pre-1900 buildings. Overall, this home suits buyers seeking a large, characterful central London apartment with modern fittings and substantial outdoor access, willing to accept higher running costs for location and space.
