Set on the fifth floor of a portered Art Deco block, this 1,180 sq ft lateral apartment offers bright, southerly-facing living and a double-aspect reception ideal for entertaining. The layout includes a separate dining room, modern kitchen with breakfast bar, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite to the principal bedroom.
The building provides lift access and well-maintained communal areas; the lease is exceptionally long (circa 980 years). Practical benefits include double glazing and hardwood floors throughout, while the location places Paddington, Lancaster Gate and Hyde Park within easy reach.
Buyers should note material running costs: an unusually high service charge (£21,930) and relatively expensive council tax. The property uses a community mains gas heating scheme and the building’s system-built walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may affect energy performance and future retrofit costs.
This apartment will suit families or professionals seeking spacious, well-located London living with period character and modern finishes. It is offered in good condition and presents straightforward potential for cosmetic updating rather than major structural works.
