Spacious Victorian apartment with private garden and excellent transport links.
Two double bedrooms both with garden access
A spacious two-bedroom garden apartment in a stucco-fronted Victorian terrace, moments from Hyde Park. The flat benefits from generous lateral space, high ceilings in the reception, a separate newly renovated kitchen fitted with Smeg appliances, and direct access to a private garden from both bedrooms. At around 791 sq ft, the layout suits a family seeking space and outside access in central Notting Hill.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with 172 years remaining, an annual service charge of £5,600 and ground rent of £150. Heating is provided by an electric boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are timber frame (assumed no insulation), which may affect future energy upgrades.
Location and access are strong selling points: immediate proximity to Hyde Park, excellent transport links via Paddington (including the Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express) and Lancaster Gate tube, plus the rejuvenated Queensway amenities. The flat falls within strong local school catchments including Hampden Gurney.
Transparent drawbacks: the area records high local crime levels, and the service charge is above average. There is a single bathroom plus a separate WC, and broadband speeds are average. Buyers planning long-term occupancy should budget for potential energy-efficiency works given the age and timber-frame construction.
