Local area: excellent transport and amenities; crime level very high
Set on the fourth floor of a 1900–1929 terrace, this one-bedroom flat offers light-filled rooms and practical storage across 482 sq ft. The apartment combines period construction with a recently updated kitchen and neutral décor, making it move-in ready for buyers who value location and convenience.
Located in Bayswater/Lancaster Gate, the flat is a short walk to local shops, cafés and Paddington Station — ideal for commuters and anyone seeking excellent transport links. The property benefits from secondary glazing, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and a double-size bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
Important — the lease has around 45 years remaining. That is likely to restrict mortgage options and could require a cash buyer or a lease extension before many lenders will offer a mortgage. Service charge and ground rent apply; the building uses a community heating scheme and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation.
The area is affluent and well served by amenities and schools, but crime statistics are high for this immediate location. This home suits a buyer who prioritises location and immediate usability, and who understands the lease and lending implications.
