Set on the sixth floor of a landmark portered block on Avenue Road, this expansive lateral apartment extends to approximately 1,474 sq ft and offers a rare combination of space, private outdoor space and secure parking in NW8. The layout includes a large reception/dining room, separate kitchen, three bedrooms, an en-suite, family bathroom and a private terrace with open outlooks toward Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park.
The apartment is ideal for a family seeking generous room proportions near excellent schools, or an investor looking for a significant refurbishment opportunity in a very affluent area. Practical benefits include lift access, porter service (7am–midnight), communal gardens, underground parking and a long lease with a share of freehold. EPC rating C and secondary glazing sit alongside gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
The property does require modernisation throughout, offering scope to reconfigure and add value; however, buyers should note the high ongoing costs — a service charge of about £14,700 per year and relatively high council tax. Constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the building’s mid‑century character and cavity wall construction mean updating will be needed to meet contemporary standards.
Location is a strong selling point: Regent’s Park is roughly 0.3 miles away, St John’s Wood High Street and the Jubilee line station are within easy reach, and local schools (state and independent) are nearby. This is a substantial apartment with clear potential for modernisation, suited to purchasers who value space, location and secure parking — and who are prepared for renovation costs and higher service charges.
