Portered sixth-floor two-bedroom with lift near Hyde Park — lease under 80 years, likely lender limits.
Sixth-floor lateral two-bedroom flat with lift access
Set on the sixth floor of an Art Deco portered block in Marble Arch, this two-bedroom lateral flat offers a practical central-London base with lift access and 24-hour security. The 638 sq ft open-plan reception and kitchen receives good natural light and suits a modern, city lifestyle close to Oxford Street, Hyde Park and Marble Arch tube.
The building’s concierge, CCTV and lift make everyday life easier; the apartment’s period character and double glazing retain charm while offering comfort. Nearby cafes, shops, restaurants and several well-regarded schools increase convenience for professionals or couples seeking a central location.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has only 78 years remaining, which may make mortgage approval difficult and will reduce value unless extended. The block was built 1930–49 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and council tax is expensive. Crime levels are above average for the area.
This property works well for a cash buyer, a buyer able to extend the lease, or a city-based professional prioritising location and on-site services. It presents an opportunity to personalise and update the interior while benefiting from strong central-London connectivity.
