Set on a handsome, tree-lined street moments from Hyde Park, this compact 1-bedroom apartment occupies a traditional building with modernised interiors. The westerly aspect and large windows flood the open-plan living area with afternoon light, while a central kitchen island creates a practical social hub for cooking and entertaining.
Practical strengths include a long lease of 124 years, double glazing installed after 2002 and a manageable footprint of 409 sq ft that suits a single occupant or couple seeking central London convenience. Local broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and neighbouring amenities, transport and reputable independent schools are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note the property is small and arranged in a traditional layout, so storage and entertaining space are limited. The building is solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated D — thermal improvements could reduce running costs. Heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme; check communal charges and maintenance arrangements before purchase.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a well-located central London pied-à-terre with clear potential to personalise and upgrade. Its position near parks, transport and high-quality schools makes it especially appealing for those prioritising location and lifestyle over interior square footage.
