A spacious two double bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of a portered, purpose built building (with a lift). With a separate kitchen, private balcony, large windows and measuring over 1,000 square foot, this property will be an ideal home or pied a terre.
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment located in the prestigious Hyde Park area of Westminster, London, presents a mixed bag. The location is undeniably strong, offering easy access to excellent transport links, highly-rated schools, and the amenities of Hyde Park and nearby areas like Paddington and Marylebone. The apartment itself, however, shows its age. The photos reveal a property in need of some updating and modernisation. The décor and fixtures appear dated, and potential buyers would likely factor in renovation costs. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, look quite outdated. There is a private balcony, a significant positive, but the lack of a garden or substantial outdoor space is common for apartments in this type of development. While the list price of £650,000 seems competitive for the area, given its age and condition, a thorough inspection and consideration of refurbishment costs would be prudent before making an offer. Overall, the location is the major strength, while the need for modernisation is the key weakness of this property. A potential buyer needs to weigh up whether the location outweighs the required investment to upgrade the apartment to current standards.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
