A rare Victorian conversion directly beside Hyde Park, this generous four-bedroom duplex offers classical proportions and modern practicality. The south-facing drawing room spans over four metres in ceiling height, with original sash windows and ornate plasterwork creating dramatic, light-filled living space. The separate fitted kitchen includes granite worktops and serves the principal entertaining rooms. The lower-ground floor contains four substantial double bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms and a guest cloakroom, with one bedroom currently used as a study.
The apartment extends to approximately 2,020 sq ft and benefits from direct access to a private outdoor space and a utility area — a scarce find in central London. Lancaster Gate station is about 0.2 miles away, and Paddington, Queensway and multiple bus routes provide rapid links across the city. The immediate area has strong schooling options nearby, including good-rated state primaries and several independent schools, making this suitable for families seeking central living with park access.
Buyers should note material costs and running charges: the service charge is high at £11,014 pa and council tax is described as very expensive. The property’s EPC rating is D; the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work to improve efficiency. Crime levels are reported as high for the area—important to consider for families and occupants.
The apartment is offered with a very long lease (around 970–971 years), providing security of tenure. This is a substantial, characterful home that rewards sensitive updating: purchasers wanting lower ongoing costs should factor in energy improvements and the established service charges when assessing overall value.
