Split-level two-bedroom with private south-facing terrace in central Bayswater..
Grade II listed split-level apartment with period character
Bright split-level two-bedroom apartment set within a Grade II listed mid-terrace on Craven Terrace, W2. Arranged over two floors, the home offers a generous open-plan reception and fully fitted kitchen, principal bedroom with ensuite, walk-in dressing room/study and a private south-facing terrace. The layout suits buyers seeking a central London base with distinct period character and modern finishes.
Practical strengths include a long lease (c.200 years), two bathrooms, private outdoor space and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The building’s solid brick construction and original stock provide charm and proportion, while the contemporary kitchen and integrated appliances offer move-in convenience.
Material considerations are straightforward: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or refurbishment. The property appears to have solid brick walls without modern cavity insulation, so energy upgrades would be limited and the EPC is a D. Annual service charge is approximately £3,000 and council tax is described as expensive. The local area records high crime levels; buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their decision.
This apartment will suit professionals or couples wanting a well-located central London home or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong transport links and demand. It presents immediate occupation potential with scope for careful, permitted improvements rather than major structural works.
