Summary - Flat C, 5 Porchester Square W2 6AL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled first-floor one-bedroom with long lease near Paddington.
West-facing reception with full-width terrace and garden-square views
A beautifully renovated one-bedroom flat on the first floor overlooking Porchester Square’s communal garden. The apartment shows high ceilings, full-height west-facing windows and herringbone floors, with a full-width terrace that fills the open-plan reception with late-afternoon light. The layout works well for single occupants or couples seeking a stylish central London base.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (176 years), a service charge of about £2,500 per year and Council Tax band D. Heating is on a community mains-gas scheme and the property currently has an EPC rating of D. The flat is presented in move-in condition but buyers should note the middling energy rating and annual service costs when assessing running expenses.
Location is a key draw — Porchester Square offers an attractive communal garden and quick access to Waitrose, Westbourne Grove, Queensway and Paddington. Transport links are excellent with multiple stations nearby, and local amenities include shops, cafés and fitness facilities. The area is inner-city and cosmopolitan, with a diverse professional population.
Buyers should be aware of local challenges: crime levels are reported as high and the wider area shows indicators of deprivation. These factors may affect resale or rental prospects and should be weighed alongside the flat’s strong presentation and long lease.
Overall, this flat suits someone prioritising a light-filled, well-finished home in a desirable garden-square setting, who accepts central-London running costs and trades off local safety statistics for location and character.
