Summary - 1 Birkenhead Street,LONDON,WC1H 8BA WC1H 8BA
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Income-producing freehold near King's Cross with short lease and conversion potential.
Prime central location — 1 minute from King's Cross/St Pancras stations
A rare freehold investment in the immediate King's Cross/St Pancras quarter, this attractive Georgian townhouse offers secure income and central London location. The building is let in full to a serviced consulting-room operator producing £100,000 pa, providing an established cashflow and short walk access to multiple Underground lines and national and international rail services.
The property was taken back to bare brick and refurbished to a high standard in 2022 and presents arranged over lower ground, ground and three upper floors with a small courtyard garden. It benefits from an EPC rating of C and flexible Class E (formerly B1/D1) use; conversion to residential or educational uses may be possible subject to listed-building and conservation-area consents.
Important purchase considerations are straightforward: this is a Grade II listed building within the King's Cross St Pancras Conservation Area, and the current lease expires in September 2037 (13 years remaining). The limited lease term and tenant break provisions are likely to restrict mortgage finance options for some buyers and will influence valuation and exit planning. Buyers should also allow for listed-building consent requirements and potential higher costs for future works.
For an investor seeking central-location exposure with immediate income and redevelopment upside (subject to consents), the property offers a compact freehold holding close to one of London’s busiest transport hubs. For cautious purchasers, the short lease term, listed status and local deprivation/crime metrics are material factors to weigh before offer.
