Period charm and modern kitchen in central Bayswater, minutes from Westbourne Grove.
Three-bedroom split-level maisonette, raised ground and first floors
A well-presented three-bedroom split-level maisonette on Orsett Terrace combining period character with contemporary fittings. The raised ground and first-floor layout provides clear separation between living and sleeping areas, with a bright reception room, a large kitchen with dining space and a private balcony for outdoor access. At approximately 845 sq ft the flat offers comfortable family living in central Bayswater, with excellent transport links to Bayswater and Paddington and the shops and cafés of Westbourne Grove on the doorstep.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (963 years) and share of freehold, fitted wardrobes in all bedrooms, gas central heating and secondary glazing. The property is part of a mid-terrace building dating from 1900–1929, retaining solid-brick construction and high ceilings in the reception room that enhance natural light and volume.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms, a relatively high annual service charge of £6,400, and the wider area records higher crime and deprivation levels which may affect long-term appeal. The building’s solid walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could increase heating costs and present a future improvement opportunity. Overall this maisonette will suit buyers seeking a centrally located family home with period charm, or owner-occupiers open to modest retrofit works to improve energy efficiency.
