A bright, large two-bedroom apartment set on the edge of Hyde Park, arranged over approximately 1,047 sq ft. The living room is generous and open-plan to a dining area, with wood flooring and decorative detailing. A separate kitchen, principal bedroom with en-suite, second bedroom, and generous built-in storage make the layout practical for everyday living.
Outdoor space is a clear asset: a south-facing balcony with a retractable awning overlooks leafy communal gardens and extends the living area in good weather. The building sits close to Marble Arch and Paddington transport links, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — ideal for commuters and buyers valuing connectivity.
There are important lease and running-cost considerations. The lease has about 60 years remaining, which may make some mortgage lenders unwilling to lend. Service charges total roughly £11,660 per year (circa £2,915 per quarter) and ground rent is around £800 per year; council tax is also described as quite expensive. Prospective buyers should check lender criteria and long-term costs before committing.
The block was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s using system build methods; external wall insulation is not assumed and the building may benefit from modernisation. Crime levels in the area are above average, which should be factored into buyer decisions. For those prioritising location, outdoor space and internal size over a fully modern specification, this apartment presents a rare, roomy Hyde Park opportunity with clear scope for cosmetic improvement or longer-term lease negotiation.
