Summary - Flat 1, 53 Leinster Square W2 4PU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful period flat with communal gardens and long lease.
Large 904 sq ft internal area with significant mezzanine space
Set within a stucco-fronted period building on Leinster Square, this unusual one-bedroom apartment uses vertical space to deliver almost 904 sq ft of living area. The main reception benefits from dramatic vaulted ceilings (up to 3.68m) and large windows, while a substantial mezzanine level provides additional sleeping, study or reception zones and generous eaves storage.
Practical advantages include long leasehold security (share of freehold with c.966 years remaining), communal garden access, good transport links (Bayswater, Queensway, Notting Hill Gate and Paddington within walking distance) and a sizeable service-charge-managed scheme. The property is well suited to a first buyer or couple seeking a characterful central-London home with flexible internal layouts and plenty of storage.
Buyers should note a handful of material issues: the flat has single glazing and an EPC rating of D, and heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme. The mezzanine areas have restricted head height and are not full ceiling height throughout. The area records higher crime levels, and the current decorative and fabric condition may require targeted upgrading to improve energy efficiency and soundproofing.
Overall, this apartment offers rare internal volume and a strong location close to transport, schools and amenities. It will appeal to purchasers who prioritise space, period character and proximity to central transport links, and who are prepared to invest modestly to improve thermal performance and finishings.
