Set within a white stucco Victorian terrace moments from Hyde Park, this one‑bedroom flat offers generous ceiling heights and abundant south‑facing natural light. The apartment’s period proportions and large sash windows create an airy living space that suits a first home or a central London pied‑à‑terre.
Practical details to note: the property is a leasehold with 88 years remaining, an EPC rating of E, and electric storage heating. Service charges average £1,230 per year and council tax is above average for the area. These running costs and the lease term are important for mortgage lenders and future resale planning.
Location is the strongest selling point — 3 minutes to Paddington for national and Heathrow connections, close to Westbourne Grove’s shops and eateries, and a short walk into Hyde Park. Local amenities and excellent mobile/broadband make daily life convenient, but buyers should be aware the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the area is classified as deprived, which may affect insurance and personal comfort.
This flat will suit a buyer who values central location, period character and light-filled rooms and is comfortable with a mid-length lease and the need to accept electric heating and an EPC E rating. It also presents potential for cosmetic updating to improve energy performance and market value.
