Set on John Adam Street in the Little Adelphi development, this two-bedroom sixth-floor apartment offers a compact, well-lit central London home with clear rental appeal. The apartment’s south-facing reception room benefits from large windows and direct views toward the River Thames and Victoria Embankment Gardens, making it attractive to tenants and short-term renters seeking a city-centre location.
The flat measures approximately 614 sq ft and provides a comfortable layout: a generous reception room, a separate fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC/utility area. Neutral finishes and hardwood flooring in the reception give a low-maintenance interior; double glazing was installed post-2002. The building is a purpose-built, period-style block with a porter and a secure feel for an inner-city address.
Important costs and constraints are straightforward. The property is leasehold (very long lease remaining), with a high annual service charge (circa £9,948) and relatively expensive council tax — factors that will impact net yield for landlords and overall running costs for owner-occupiers. Heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas/hot-water system), which can increase energy bills compared with gas-heated flats.
This apartment suits an investor or a city buyer who prioritises location, views and low-decor upkeep over private outdoor space and lower running costs. It occupies a prime cultural quarter close to theatres, restaurants and transport links, supporting strong rental demand, but assess ongoing charges and energy costs against projected income or living budgets before proceeding.
