Description Paddington Splendour: London

Seconds from Paddington station, this designer apartment blends practicality with sophistication. The living area is dotted with charming furnishings, and flows partially into a good-sized kitchen area built around a load-bearing counter. The other part leads past a more traditional dining table to the staircase, where on the next level you'll find three bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms (meaning guests in the third room may need to infringe on others). There's also a private garden with plenty of seating for alfresco socialising, while out the front door, you'll be down the road from a major train station – and less than half an hour from both Hyde Park and Notting Hill.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, guests in the third bedroom will need to pass through the other two bedrooms to use the en-suite bathrooms.
*You'll need to descend one flight of stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
