Spacious period apartment with private patio, moments from Hyde Park and the Elizabeth line.
Dual-aspect two-bedroom flat with large L-shaped reception
Set within a grand Grade II-listed period building on leafy Craven Hill Gardens, this dual-aspect two-bedroom apartment offers nearly 937 sq ft of light-filled living space just moments from Hyde Park and excellent transport links. The large L-shaped reception is enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows and south-facing aspect, creating a bright, open atmosphere ideal for entertaining or home working. A rear patio provides private outdoor space — a rare find for central London flats.
The fitted kitchen is modern with stainless-steel appliances and good built-in storage. Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit off a traditional layout, and the long lease with a share of freehold gives long-term security. This property will particularly suit professionals or couples who value location, period character and proximity to green space and the Elizabeth line.
Buyers should note the building’s listed status, which will limit alterations and may complicate works and approvals. Heating is provided by electric room heaters and there is no confirmed cavity wall insulation; prospective purchasers should budget for potential upgrades. Service charges are above average at £4,800 per year and council tax is expensive — factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful central-London apartment with strong day-to-day convenience and scope to improve energy performance. It represents a solid option for those seeking lifestyle and location in W2, provided they accept listed-building constraints and running costs.
