Set on the ninth floor of a modern 2000s development in Paddington Basin, this compact one-bedroom flat offers efficient city living with exceptional on-site services. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan reception with light and provide a clear view of the London skyline, while lift access and a 24-hour concierge add everyday convenience and security.
The apartment includes allocated underground parking — a valuable rarity in Zone 1 — and a practical layout suited to a single occupant or couple. The double bedroom has built-in storage and there is an airing cupboard alongside a contemporary bathroom, making this a straightforward move-in option or a ready-to-let investment in a well-connected central location.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the overall floor area is small at about 429 sq ft, service charges are high (£4,686 pa), and the property is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £250. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and the local recorded crime level is very high; these factors affect suitability depending on personal priorities or rental strategy.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a compact London base with strong transport links and to investors wanting a central one-bed with concierge and parking. Budget for higher running costs and check connectivity and local safety data before proceeding.
