Set over two floors in a handsome 1930s terrace, this bright 2-bedroom duplex offers well-proportioned living and a private roof terrace in sought-after St John’s Wood. The south-facing reception room benefits from high ceilings and large windows, creating a light, airy space for day-to-day living and entertaining. The fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room is practical and the layout keeps bedrooms peaceful on the upper level, one with an en suite bathroom.
The 110 sq ft roof terrace provides a rare outdoor spot for central-London dining and city views. The apartment is presented in good condition and has a long lease (176 years), making it straightforward for buyers looking to move in without major immediate works. At 862 sq ft the accommodation feels generous for a two-bedroom flat in this location.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with a reported service charge (approx. £1,000) and council tax is classed as expensive. The building predates modern cavity insulation and the glazing was installed before 2002, which may affect running costs and future upgrade plans. The location is residential but local crime statistics are above average — worth factoring into personal comfort and insurance considerations.
For buyers prioritising transport and amenities, St John’s Wood Underground (Jubilee Line) and the High Street are within easy reach, plus a wide choice of schools and local services. This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or professional couple wanting character, outdoor space, and a long lease in a central, well-connected pocket of NW8.
