Penthouse FOR SALE in Paddington, Greater London

Property Description

Prime Central London Penthouse Development Opportunity – Paddington W2 – 3,982 sq ft + Extensive Terrace
Fraser Bond is delighted to present a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial penthouse development in the heart of Paddington, one of Central London’s most rapidly evolving prime districts.
Positioned within an established residential building, this expansive top-floor asset extends to approximately 3,982 sq ft internally, complemented by an exceptional 2,379 sq ft private terrace offering panoramic city views. Currently in shell condition, the property provides a blank canvas for a high-end residential transformation.
Planning consent has been secured for extension and reconfiguration, enabling the creation of a best-in-class luxury residence or an intelligently designed multi-unit scheme. The scale, volume, and outdoor space are highly unusual for the area, positioning the asset firmly within the super-prime development bracket.
Acquired at a significant discount to previous guidance, the opportunity presents immediate equity uplift alongside substantial value creation through design, specification, and layout optimisation. Comparable penthouse units within the vicinity have achieved values in excess of £6 million, despite offering inferior accommodation and specification.
