Set on the fifth floor of an Art Deco building, this bright three-bedroom lateral apartment offers generous living space and excellent natural light from a southerly aspect. The double-aspect reception and separate dining room create flexible living and entertaining zones, while hardwood floors and modern bathrooms present a largely move-in-ready home. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and the property includes a guest WC.
Practical conveniences include lift and porter access, a very long lease (circa 980 years) and close proximity to Hyde Park, Paddington Station and Lancaster Gate Underground. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working and connected city living. The building’s communal areas are well maintained, reinforcing the address’s period charm and central location.
Buyers should note notable ongoing costs: a high service charge (approx. £21,930) and relatively expensive council tax. Heating runs on a community mains gas scheme and the building is of system-built construction with assumed no wall insulation, which may affect long-term running costs and future upgrade work. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average — buyers may want to consider security and insurance implications.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking generous lateral accommodation in a prestigious central London location who value light, layout and convenience. It also offers potential for cosmetic updating where desired; however, the significant service charge and running-cost considerations are important for budget planning.
