Set on the third floor of a modern mid-terrace block in Soho, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, contemporary base in the heart of London’s West End. The open-plan living and kitchen area has wood flooring, built-in appliances and high ceilings, giving a roomy, modern feel for its 456 sq ft. The bedroom benefits from secondary glazing for added peace and insulation.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 176 years remaining, and the service charge is around £2,430 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity; this may mean higher running costs than gas-heated alternatives. Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime level is very high, important factors to weigh for daily living and insurance.
For a first-time buyer seeking central convenience, this flat’s location is a major draw — moments from Carnaby Street, a minute from Marshall Street Leisure Centre (gym, pool, spa) and within easy walking distance of multiple tube stations. The apartment suits buyers wanting a low-maintenance, well-located home or a city-centre buy-to-let with clear rental appeal, though budget for service charges, electricity heating costs, and inner-city living considerations.
