This bright first-floor conversion offers an efficient one-bedroom layout in a desirable Lancaster Gate location, minutes from Hyde Park. High ceilings and a sizeable sash window give the reception room a light, airy feel; the flat includes fitted wardrobes and a compact modern living area. The property is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking central-london lifestyle and easy access to transport and amenities.
Practical positives include a very long lease (approximately 976 years) and share of freehold ownership, providing long-term security. Heating is via a community scheme and mains gas; broadband and mobile signal are strong. At about 423 sq ft, the flat is small — ideal for single occupancy or as a pied-à-terre, but limited for those needing extensive storage or separate workspace.
Buyers should note the building’s age (pre-1900) and solid-brick construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, which can affect heat retention. The area records higher-than-average crime levels; consider viewing at different times and checking local safety information. Overall, this is a compact, characterful city flat with clear appeal for a first-time purchaser or investor wanting central location and long lease security.
