This bright one-bedroom apartment occupies a practical 491 sqft on the first floor of a portered block, moments from Hyde Park and excellent transport links. The open-plan living space has large windows and modern finishes, suited to a single buyer or couple seeking a compact, well-connected home in central W2.
Practical advantages include a long lease (approximately 150 years), lift access, communal gardens and a porter. The property benefits from a central location with plentiful shops, eateries and fast broadband—ideal for city living or a buy-to-let operator targeting short-term professionals.
Buyers should note material running costs: a very high service charge of around £16,000 and above-average council tax. Heating runs on a community mains-gas scheme; the building dates from the 1950–66 period and external walls are likely uninsulated, which could affect future energy costs and comfort levels.
The neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity but an above-average local crime rate and areas of deprivation nearby. The apartment offers immediate move-in convenience and solid location value, but budget prudently for service charges, communal heating costs and potential retrofit/insulation work.
