Spacious two-bed top-floor apartment with balcony, porterage and convenient St John's Wood location.
Top (8th) floor; excellent natural light and private balcony
Set on the eighth (top) floor of a purpose-built portered block, this bright two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (902 sq ft / 84 sq m) with an open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen that opens onto a private balcony. Large windows flood the principal rooms with natural light and both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, while the layout includes a bathroom and separate shower room — practical for families or sharers.
Grove End House provides secure entry, a passenger lift and 24-hour porterage, and the location is a real asset: St John's Wood High Street, Abbey Road and Regent’s Park are all within easy reach, together with excellent schools including The American School and highly rated local primaries and secondaries. Transport links from Maida Vale (Bakerloo) and St John’s Wood (Jubilee) are convenient for central London commuting.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with c.130 years remaining and a service charge of approximately £5,345pa (noted as above average). Heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators and the windows have secondary glazing. Council tax is described as expensive. Local crime levels are indicated as above average for the area — something to check if safety is a priority.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a bright, well-located modern home in St John’s Wood — particularly families wanting proximity to top schools or buyers looking for an executive pied-à-terre with concierge facilities. The block’s service charge and local crime figures are the main drawbacks to weigh against the strong location and generous internal space.
