This three-bedroom, fifth-floor apartment sits in a distinguished 1930s Art Deco block on the Hyde Park Estate, offering bright east–west aspect and period communal areas. The building benefits from lift access, a 24-hour porter, and easy walking access to Marble Arch, Connaught Village and multiple transport hubs.
The flat is a well-proportioned 907 sq ft layout with contemporary internal finishes and large windows that deliver good natural light. Its central location and communal amenities make it suitable for buyers wanting central London living or investors seeking rental demand in a prime postcode.
Important financial and legal points are plainly stated: the lease has approximately 76 years remaining, which is likely to restrict mortgage lending and will concern many buyers. The property is being sold at auction (buyer’s premium 1% inclusive of VAT), so cash buyers or those able to offer prior to the auction are advantaged.
Running costs are material: service charge c. £7,500pa (above average) and ground rent c. £200pa; council tax band F. There is scope for aesthetic refurbishment to increase appeal and rental value, but lease extension and ongoing service costs should be budgeted for before purchase.
