Set on the first floor of a well-maintained mansion block, this bright two-bedroom apartment offers a classic Art Deco feel with modern touches. A dual-aspect reception room with parquet-style flooring and bay windows fills the space with light; the compact galley kitchen is fitted with contemporary cabinets and granite surfaces. The layout is traditional and efficient, giving comfortable living space across approximately 700 sq ft.
Practical benefits include lift access, a live-in porter and long lease (approximately 134 years remaining). The property sits moments from Hyde Park and excellent transport links, making it easy for commuting, leisure and accessing local schools and amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the neighbourhood offers a wide choice of shops, cafes and restaurants.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an above-average service charge (£4,626 pa) and a small ground rent (£70 pa). Heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme rather than an individual boiler. The building dates from the early 20th century and walls are likely solid brick with no insulation, which may affect thermal performance and future upgrade requirements. Local crime levels are reported as very high; prospective buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking a centrally located home with character and convenience. It also offers straightforward refurbishment potential for anyone wanting to improve energy efficiency and personalise the interior.
