This ninth-floor lateral apartment in the Raynham building offers spacious, well-proportioned living across 1,555 sq ft, arranged around a large south-west facing reception-dining room that floods the home with afternoon light. Four double bedrooms and large windows provide flexible family accommodation or generous space for professionals sharing. The property benefits from lift access, a porter and private communal gardens, creating a tranquil city-centre setting close to Connaught Village, Hyde Park and Paddington Station.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (978 years), double glazing already installed and strong digital connectivity. The high-floor position delivers far-reaching open views and a sense of privacy uncommon for central London flats. The communal gardens and concierge-style amenity add lifestyle value for families or buyers seeking green space without maintenance of a private garden.
Buyers should note material running costs and maintenance points: the service charge is high (£15,286) and council tax is described as very expensive, which will affect ongoing affordability. The building dates from the 1950s–60s; walls are cavity with assumed no insulation and the glazing was installed before 2002—upgrades may be needed to improve thermal efficiency. Heating is electric boiler with radiators, which can be costlier than gas alternatives.
This apartment suits a family or professionals wanting a large central-London home with excellent transport links and private communal gardens. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential for comfort and efficiency improvements, but buyers should factor in substantial service charges and possible refurbishment to modernise heating and insulation.
