Lift access, communal roof terrace and superb transport links ideal for city commuters..
Third-floor apartment with elevator access
Set on Praed Street, this third-floor two-bedroom apartment offers 703 sq ft of contemporary living with lift access and a communal roof terrace. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite and terrace access, while a bright, medium-sized living room and modern fitted kitchen provide practical everyday space. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and immediate access to Paddington and nearby Tube stations make the location especially convenient for commuters and city professionals.
The property sits on a long lease (approx. 140 years) and has double glazing installed post-2002, reducing immediate glazing expense. Size and layout suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a central London rental, with plenty of local amenities, cafes and shops on the doorstep and several highly rated schools within easy reach.
Buyers should note material running costs and local factors: a high annual service charge (£5,980) and above-average council tax will raise ongoing costs. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central gas, and the building was constructed 1950–1966 with system-built walls assumed to lack insulation, which could affect energy bills. The local area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, so purchasers should balance location convenience against these practical considerations.
