Bright one-bedroom Bayswater flat near Paddington and Lancaster Gate.
Grade II listed period building with high ceilings and wood floors
Set on the second floor of an attractive Grade II listed period building in Bayswater, this one-bedroom lateral apartment offers bright living spaces and high ceilings. The living room and bedroom both benefit from large windows and good natural light; the bedroom faces south-east. The apartment is presented in a contemporary style with wood flooring and a separate kitchen/dining area, ready for immediate occupation or rental.
Practical details suit city living: 474 sq ft of accommodation, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, communal garden access, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local transport is strong with Lancaster Gate, Paddington and multiple Underground and rail links nearby, plus Crossrail improvements imminent for faster City and Canary Wharf journeys.
Buyers should note material constraints from the property’s listed status: any external or substantial internal alterations will require listed-building consent and may be restricted. The flat is leasehold with approximately 82 years remaining; service charge (c. £1,164 annually) and a small ground rent (£100) apply. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and could mean further improvement work is needed.
This property will suit a professional, first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located central London pied-a-terre or rental prospect. It combines period character and modern presentation but carries common central-London limitations — leasehold term and listed-building controls — that prudent purchasers should factor into budgeting and plans.
