Occupying the second floor of a handsome Grade II listed terrace, this beautifully proportioned three-bedroom apartment pairs rare scale with an unusually joyful sense of style, all set against open views across Hyde Park. Extending to approximately 1,748 sq ft, the apartment is reached by lift and unfolds across a lateral layout that is both elegant and easy to live in. At its heart is an impressive reception room of remarkable volume, with ceiling heights of over 10ft, tall sash windows and direct access to a private terrace overlooking the park. The proportions are classic, but the interiors feel spirited and individual, with decorative finishes and bold colour lending the space a sense of personality that sets it apart from more conventional lateral apartments in this part of Bayswater. The kitchen sits separately off the main hallway and is smartly finished in a clean, contemporary style, with minimal cabinetry, integrated appliances and space for informal dining. The arrangement works especially well for entertaining, with the principal living space offering ample room for both seating and dining while opening directly onto the terrace. The principal bedroom is at the back of the apartment and has the feel of a private suite, complete with fitted storage and a generous ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are well-sized, one also with its own ensuite, making the apartment well suited to guests, family life or a combination of sleeping and working space. A third bathroom sits off the hall. The building is well maintained and benefits from a lift and day porter. Lancaster Parkside is one of the best positions on the Hyde Park Estate, directly facing the park and moments from the pleasures of Connaught Village, where independent boutiques, smart cafés and long-established local favourites give the area its quietly polished character. Marble Arch, Lancaster Gate and Paddington are all within easy reach, while the open green sweep of Hyde Park lies quite literally on the doorstep.
