Compact city pied-à-terre near St James's Park and transport links.
Third-floor one-bedroom, 377 sq ft, bright large windows
Set on the third floor of a 1930s purpose-built Art Deco block, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-lit city base moments from St James's Park station. Large windows and efficient room planning make the most of 377 sq ft, suited to a single occupant, couple, pied-à-terre or rental let.
Practical strengths include a long lease (985 years) and share of freehold, an in-house porter, and two lifts for easy access. The block runs a community heating scheme and benefits from excellent transport links — Victoria and St James's Park are within easy walking distance — plus plentiful local shops and cafés.
Notable costs and constraints are factual: an above-average service charge of around £6,000 per year and solid-brick construction likely without wall insulation. The apartment is compact, with no private outdoor space, and the local crime rate is recorded as very high — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
This property suits someone after a central London bolt-hole or an investor targeting short-term lets and professional renters. Confirm running costs, service charge breakdown and any planned major works before proceeding, and consider insulation and soundproofing improvements where needed.
