Well-presented one-bedroom flat on the third floor of a 1930s period building in Bayswater, recently refurbished and ready to move into. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from two large sash-style windows that flood the living area with light, while a double bedroom with built-in storage keeps the layout efficient for everyday living. At roughly 417 sq ft, the apartment is compact but thoughtfully arranged for a single occupant or couple.
Practical running details are clear: electric storage heating, an Energy Rating of D, and an average service charge of £3,500 per year. The lease has a very long term remaining (968 years), removing a common complication for buyers of central London flats. There is no private outdoor space and the property has urban views only.
Location is a major draw — quick walking access to Bayswater (Circle/District), Queensway (Central) and nearby Paddington/Elizabeth Line connections, plus immediate access to shops, cafés and restaurants. This makes the flat a straightforward choice as a pied-à-terre or a buy-to-let aimed at professionals who work in central London.
Be aware of two material points: the accommodation is small compared with suburban properties, and the local recorded crime level is high, typical of busy inner-city neighbourhoods. The apartment is newly renovated internally, but heating is electric rather than gas, which can affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
