Recently refurbished; modern kitchen and bathroom
Approx 676 sq ft — good central London proportions
Share of freehold; 999-year lease remaining
Service charge £3,294 pa; Council Tax Band E (above average)
Local crime level is high; building likely has solid-brick walls (no insulation)
Recently refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor apartment set on Gloucester Terrace, a short walk from Hyde Park and Paddington station. High ceilings, a bay-fronted reception and original Victorian features give the flat strong period character while contemporary finishes provide move-in readiness.
The layout includes a separate modern kitchen, two double bedrooms, a tiled bathroom with shower-over-bath and useful built-in storage. At approximately 676 sq ft the accommodation is well-proportioned for central London living and suits both owner-occupiers and investors seeking rental appeal.
Practical considerations are straightforward: share of freehold with a 999-year lease, an annual service charge of £3,294 and Council Tax Band E. Ground-floor position means no private outdoor space and slightly reduced privacy compared with upper floors. The area benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and proximity to shops, cafés and green space.
Buyers should note the local crime level is high for the neighbourhood and the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. Overall, this is a characterful, ready-to-live-in central London flat with good long-lease security and clear rental or owner-occupation potential.
